90 Coy ASC (1 Auxiliary Bus Coy)
were the only omnibus company to be at Bethune.
They were at Bethune briefly in January 1915
while serving 1 Indian Cavalry.
as from the period images in the
Grand Place at Bethune today.
Some of the buildings and views tease
by looking almost right,
but are only ever 'almost' right.
No. 6 Field Ambulance based at the college from 1915
now Place de la Republique.
657 Coy ASC (4 MRU) were based at
Maison Delahaye in the Marche on Cheveaux
in October 1916.
A century later, it is possible to recognise the
distinctive building and roof to the extreme left
in the period image, but a modern Post Office
now dominates the view.

Based in Rue d'Arras in January 1915 for
just a few days before moving to Choques
on 25 January following the heavy shelling
of Bethune.
