Émile Dossin de Saint-Georges, a prominent figure in Belgian military history, is remembered for his leadership during the First World War. Born Émile Jean Henri Dossin in 1854, he rose to the rank of Lieutenant-General.

His distinguished service led to him being made a Baron of Sint-Joris. In recognition of his legacy, notable barracks in Mechelen, known as Dossin Barracks, were named in his honour shortly after his passing in 1936.
