Memorial to French Civilian Victims Incourt

During the First World War, the French civilian population was evacuated en masse, both in 1914 during the German advance and in 1917–1918 under the pressure of fighting. These civilians sought refuge in various regions of France, often behind the front lines, or in Belgium, where they became known as "French evacuees."
In 2018, to commemorate the centenary of the Great War, a plaque commemorating the civilians from the Northern France and Pas-de-Calais regions who were evacuated to Incourt and died there was hung on the side wall of the town hall.
