Dossogne en Meulemeester waren net als de rest van het Belgische leger zich aan het terugtrekken na de slag bij Veldwezelt-Vroenhoven die het begin was van de Tweede Wereldoorlog op Belgische bodem. In de vroege ochtend stootten zij nietsvermoedend op een vooruitgeschoven post verkenners van het Duitse leger.

The soldiers Jean Dossogne and Gaston Meulemeester lost their lives in the Second World War (11 May 1940) on the border between Werm and Alt-Hoeselt. The History and Local Society of Werm placed a monument a few meters from the site of ambush on day 65 years later.
Dossogne and Meulemeester, just like the rest of the Belgian army, retreated after the battle at Veldwezelt-Vroenhoven which was the beginning of the Second World War on Belgian soil. In the early morning they unsuspectingly bumped into an advanced post scout from the German army.
