I for one never heard of it. I don't know much about the war in the Pacific except the most known battles.

Don't feel bad about it, why would someone from Belgium know anything about the bravery of your countrymen. I bet you don't know much about the bravery of my countrymen.

However, I can relate to the annoyance when some other country/people/culture takes or tries to take credit for achievements of the country/people/culture you're from.
