Remembrance & Commemoration
Abbeville Street honours the significant French town located between Paris and Boulogne that played a crucial role during World War I. Unlike many other French towns, Abbeville was never occupied by German forces and served as headquarters for Commonwealth lines of communication throughout much of the conflict. From October 1914 to January 1920, the town became a vital medical hub housing the No.3 British Red Cross Society and No.5 and No.2 Commonwealth Stationary Hospitals.
Of particular significance to Australians, the No.3 Australian General Hospital was established in Abbeville in 1916 to treat the casualties from the Battle of the Somme—one of the bloodiest battles in human history. Today, the Abbeville Communal Cemetery and its Extension, begun in September 1916, contain the solemn resting places of 774 and 1,754 Commonwealth service personnel from World War I, standing as a permanent memorial to those who served and sacrificed.
This street naming forms part of Brisbane’s Streets of Remembrance initiative, preserving the Anzac spirit and honouring Queensland’s service men and women through our everyday geography.
