Ors (French pronunciation: [ɔʁ(s)]) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. [3]
It is located on the Sambre–Oise Canal, in a small wood called Bois l'Évêque.
The commune was an area of intense fighting in November 1918 for control of the canal. Second Lieutenant Wilfred Owen was killed in action there, a week before the Armistice, and is buried at the Communal Cemetery beside many of his men. The village's new (2014) primary school is named for Owen. [4]
Ors is famous for its yearly water jousting competition on the canal every August 15. [5]
The arms of Ors are
blazoned : Or, 3 lions azure, on a chief gules, a demi-'Notre-Dame-de-Grâce de carnation' issuant from the line of division, vested gules and azure and holding in her left arm the Baby Jesus. ( Boursies, Cattenières, Carnières, Estrun, Maresches, Onnaing, Ors, Orsinval, Thun-l'Évêque and originally, Notre-Dame de Cambrai, use the same arms.)
|
The church, Église de l'Assomption, was built from 1851 to 1872.
