Our French connection to heroic day WILLIAM WOODWORTH A piece of music has proved a timely reminder of the deep connection between Marlborough and one of New Zealand’s proudest military feats. The Marlborough District Brass Band dedicated a piece in their recent Anzac Concert to the capture of Le Quesnoy, and the connections of the small French town less than ten kilometres from the Belgian border to Marlborough have proven to run deep. The brass band’s choice of music has resonated with many across the region, especially two men with strong ties to the town. Marlborough’s Luke van Velthooven, who was involved in the commissioning and renovation of Le Quesnoy’s New Zealand Liberation Museum Te Arawhata, and Marlborough District Council Chief Executive John Boswell have each felt the depth in connection between Le Quesnoy locals, their history, and their appreciation for New Zealand. “I’m proud to have been involved from the start with the NZ Memorial Museum Trust since 2019 as part of the project control group to manage the build, refurbishment and installation of the experience with team members in both New Zealand and Le Quesnoy,” said Luke. “The personal experience of seeing the eagerness of contractors to learn and do a good job with the project and display this unique story, we’re very fortunate to have a shared motive of protecting and remembering the history of the Le Quesnoy district.”
