Remembrance Significance

Armentieres Street honours the Battle of Armentières, fought in October 1914 as German and Franco-British forces attempted to secure the North Sea coastline. Following the Gallipoli campaign, the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Australian Divisions were stationed near Armentières in France to acclimate to new warfare technologies, including mustard gas, before moving to front-line trenches.

Though dubbed “the nursery” for its supposed quieter conditions, heavy shelling and raids resulted in over 600 Australian casualties. It was here that Private William Jackson earned the first Victoria Cross awarded to an Australian in France, embodying the exceptional bravery that defines the Anzac spirit. As one of Brisbane’s Streets of Remembrance, Armentieres Street serves as a daily reminder of the courage and sacrifice of Queensland’s service men and women.
