Eugène Colson

Eugène Colson (Charleroi, 1913 - Antwerp, 2000), known by the alias "Harry", was a noted member of the Belgian Resistance during World War II. An employee of the port of Antwerp during the German occupation, Colson formed a resistance cell affiliated to the Nationale Koninklijke Beweging (NKB) group.

During the liberation of Belgium, Colson played an important role in preventing the German destruction of the port. As a result, the Canadian troops which entered the city in September 1944 were able to capture the facility intact.
