Clary, Nord

Clary (French pronunciation: [klaʁi]) is a commune of the Nord department in northern France.

The commune was liberated from German occupation by 5th/6th Battalion, Scottish Rifles, on 9 October 1918.

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.
