Bellenglise (French pronunciation: [bɛlɑ̃ɡliz] ) is a commune in the department of Aisne in Hauts-de-France in northern France.
Geography
[edit ]The village lies close to the N44, in a loop of the St. Quentin Canal, nine kilometres north of St. Quentin.
History
[edit ]About two kilometres to the north is the Riqueval souterrain.
On the 28 August 1914 the French 10th Regiment of Territorial Infantry opposed a German invading force. The French unit was essentially from the local Département, with its depot in St Quentin. Despite a fierce defence, the French line gave and a battalion (1000 men) of the unit was taken prisoner.
The famous picture of the British 137th Brigade, gathered on the canal bank at Riqueval Bridge, for a pep talk after the crossing of the St. Quentin Canal, was taken nearby.
