Belt has a unique memorial, seven Flanders
battlefield place names - Amiens, Messines,
Bapaume, Passchendaele, Bullecourt, Pozieres, and Fleurbaix. These were
railway sidings for a soldier settlement established in 1920.
Each year Eberhard and Fay Helwig of Das Helwig Haus plant a field at the front of their homestead at Glen Aplin with red Flanders poppies to represent the way the fallow fields of France appeared prior to the battles of World War One. This remarkable tribute has been featured on Burke's Backyard.
