A special event took place in May 2024, when the reburial of Private David Valentine Gemmell was held. His remains were discovered by a farmer in Cuinchy and identified by MOD War Detectives. The ceremony was attended by members of his family and the regiment to pay their respects. It was an emotional and respectful occasion, which also included the remembrance of an unknown soldier.

In the North and in Belgium, the “Grand'Places” are special places, unique places. Centres of life and encounters, but also places rich in their remarkable architecture. Brussels, Lille, Arras of course... But Béthune is no exception to the rule, far from it! The Grand Place of Béthune is less known than the Belfry and has an astonishing charm! Art Deco and the regionalist style predominate on all the facades. During the First World War, Béthune was a rear-front town defended by the British. In May 1918, it was hit by German bombardments and 90% of the city centre was destroyed. In the aftermath of the conflict, the city wanted a modern urban environment, but without breaking with history. The architects appointed for this reconstruction were Jacques Alleman, Paul Dégez and Léon Guthmann. They then adopted an eclectic style combining Art Deco and regionalist architecture, which today gives the city centre its originality and charm. As you cross the Grand Place, look up to enjoy this surprising architecture. Discover the many details that adorn the facades: bunches of grapes, vine leaves, shells, sun...

facades: note those of the old Delepierre grocer's (bar le Kerry), the Maison du canon (old arms factory) and to its left the narrower facade with its pointed roof, or those of the Hôtel du Beffroi and the town hall.

The Belfry of Béthune is a historic belfry in the northern French city of Béthune. The tower is 33 metres high and contains a carillon with 36 bells. It is one of 56 belfries in Belgium and France that have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The first belfry of Béthune was a wooden construction from 1346. It burned down in 1388 and then the current tower was built. In 1918, German artillery fire caused great damage to the city. The belfry was also badly damaged; the restoration lasted from 1921 to 1923.

The town hall is a listed monument. The façade features the Croix de Guerre and the Légion d'Honneur, which were awarded to the town in 1919 for the courage and resistance of the inhabitants of Béthune during the war. The interior is in Art Deco style.
