Ors (in French pronounced as /ɔʁ(s)/) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.[2]
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.[3]
Ors is famous for its yearly water jousting competition on the canal every August 15.[4]
The church, Église de l'Assomption, was built from 1851 to 1872.
