Bullecourt 1917, Jean and Denise Letaille museum

The museum showcases military artifacts from World War I battles, including weapons, personal items, and equipment discovered in the surrounding fields of Bullecourt.

The museum commemorates two major battles in 1917 where British and Australian forces suffered 19,664 casualties attempting to breach the Hindenburg Line.

Exhibits present wartime medical equipment, photographs, and letters that tell the personal stories of soldiers who fought in the Battle of Arras.

Located at 1 bis rue d'Arras, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with adult admission at €3 and reduced rates for visitors aged 18-25.

The collection originated from Jean Letaille, a local farmer and former mayor who gathered battlefield remnants while working his agricultural land.
