Did you know: Le Quesnoy is the little town in the north of France that was liberated by New Zealand soldiers after 4 long years of occupation. 106 years since the battle of 4 November 1918, Le Quesnoy remembers the sacrifice of those Kiwi soldiers. Join @te_arawhata_nzlm for a three-day experience centred on the 4 November commemorative service. A dinner in Valenciennes on 2 November will be followed by a visit to the incredible Wellington Tunnels of Arras, dug by the New Zealand Tunnelling Company in 1916, on the 3rd. The 4th will then focus on the story of the Liberation, with guided tours of the museum, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery at Le Quesnoy, and the 20-metre-high ramparts encircling the town. This emotional day will conclude with a private dinner alongside members of the Le Quesnoy-Nouvelle-Zélande Association, allowing visitors to more deeply connect with the incredible story and friendship between Le Quesnoy and Aotearoa. Le Quesnoy can be reached easily from London by train (via Lille), coach or plane (and then train, via Paris or Lille). The event will be conducted primarily in English, though there will be opportunities to pick up some French along the way! The New Zealand Liberation Museum – Te Arawhata – is based in Le Quesnoy and serves as New Zealand’s tūrangawaewae on the Western Front. Te Arawhata invites New Zealanders to come to Le Quesnoy to mark the anniversary of the liberation. All welcome – for tickets and more information, tap the @te_arawhata_nzlm bio.
