Museum Erin - La Grande Ecole

Exhibition and documentation centre to commemorate the Tanks Corps and the Chinese Labour Corps in France in the First World War.
Erin was a nerve centre for the British and their allies who installed the Central Workshops there for the repair and preparation of tanks - a key feature of the final victory in 1918.
Alongside the British officers, soldiers and technicians who formed the workforce were around 1500 Chinese labourers, who stayed until 1920 when the camp was eventually fully dismantled.

For current visiting hours, please contact the museum.
