Clary is a commune of the Nord department in northern France.

Heraldry[]

The arms of Clary are blazoned : Azure, 7 bezants (3,3,1) and a chief Or. (Clary and Illies use the same arms.)

World War I[]

The commune was liberated from German occupation by 5th/6th Battalion, Scottish Rifles, on 9 October 1918. The Place de la Mairie was renamed Place des Ecossais in their honour. 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.^[2][3]
