Clary, Nord
Clary () is a commune of the Nord department in northern France. World War I. The commune was liberated from German occupation by 5th/6th Battalion, Scottish Rifles, on 9 October 1918. The "Place de la Mairie" was renamed "Place des Ecossais" in their honour. When King George V visited Clary in November 1918, the same battalion was drawn up in the "place" to welcome him. Among those liberated was a British soldier who had been in hiding since the Battle of Le Cateau in August 1914.
