    At the Alexianenplein, near the entrance to the town hall, there is a bronze line of verse by Wilfred Owen. The artwork is a reminder of the first gas attack in history and of Tielt's role in preparing for this new turn in warfare.

    The attempts of Member of Parliament Auguste Beernaert to have the use of the gas banned and the espionage activity of the resistance in Tielt turned out to be in vain. The result was thousands of gas victims and hopeless misery.
