Armentieres Street in Kedron stands as a living memorial to Australia’s military history, named to commemorate the Battle of Armentières fought in France during World War I. This charming suburban street not only offers a glimpse into Brisbane’s residential development but also serves as a permanent reminder of the sacrifices made by Queensland’s service personnel.

With an impressive 85% of properties being owner-occupied and residents staying an average of 18 years and 7 months, Armentieres Street demonstrates remarkable community stability. The street’s enduring appeal is further evidenced by the fact that 51% of residents have called this commemorative street home for more than a decade.

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.

Remembrance: A Street of Honour

Bedford Street stands as part of Brisbane’s Streets of Remembrance program, commemorating the Bedford House Cemetery in Ypres, Belgium. This World War One Commonwealth Cemetery, situated near Zillbeke Village, surrounds what was once Chateau Rosendal, a country house set within a small wooded park encircled by moats. During World War One, Commonwealth forces held this strategic area, and as the conflict progressed, the property became the site of several small cemeteries. Today, Bedford House Cemetery serves as the final resting place for 5,139 Commonwealth servicemen from the First World War, with 3,011 of these brave souls remaining unidentified. Bedford Street’s name preserves this important piece of Anzac history and honours Queensland’s connection to the Great War.
