Sooike
About five years after the marriage of Jan Soldaat and Mie Katoen, according to the legend, Mie Katoen gave birth to a big son, who got the name Sooike.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Beverlo Camp, the 8th Engineer Battalion donated the giant “Sooike” to the party committee. Sooike wears the costumes of this army unit, a khaki-colored uniform with a soldier’s hat with “floche” under the right epaulet.
