Wilfred Owen, British soldier and poet was killed on November 4, 1918 on the Canal de la Sambre which crosses the village of Ors. Still almost unknown in France, Wilfred Owen is the most studied poet in Britain after Shakespeare. Owen will be considered a "witness" of the war whose poetic texts and correspondence highlighted the barbaric absurdity.
It was when he noticed that a large number of British visitors were looking for Owen's grave, the exact place where he had been killed and the cellar of the Forest House where the poet had written the last letter to his mother, that he decided to create this place of memory. Opening of the house on October 1st, 2011
