On 25 March 1917 an explosion at the town hall in Bapaume, Pas-de-Calais, France, killed 24 people including Australian soldiers, civilians of the Australian Comforts Fund and two members of the French parliament. The device had been left behind on a time-delayed fuse by German troops, hoping to kill members of an Allied headquarters unit. After the war the town hall was rebuilt and includes memorials to those that died.
