Ors in three films: Wilfred Owen, the canal battle and remembrance

Three verified videos approach Ors through the Owen memorial house, the 1918 canal battle and a centenary commemoration.

This short film is titled for the Maison Forestière Wilfred Owen and comes from the Caudrésis-Catésis agglomeration’s channel. It offers a compact introduction to the memorial site at Ors. Pair it with the current visitor listing before travelling: the clip is an introduction to the place, not a reliable source for present-day opening times or access arrangements.

The title and description place this video at the Battle of the Sambre Canal and Ors Communal Cemetery, linking the November 1918 fighting with the soldiers buried there, including Wilfred Owen. It is a focused historical companion to the marked memory trail, rather than a present-day walking guide; consult the Department’s route sheet for distance, waymarking and seasonal forest restrictions.

Another view of Ors

This local video is titled as Ors’s 4 November 2018 commemoration of the centenary of Wilfred Owen’s death. It preserves a specific remembrance occasion and adds a community perspective to the memorial house and cemetery. Treat it as a dated record of that event, not as a notice of current ceremony dates or a description of what visitors will encounter today.
