The cross in the lower half of the arms is the cross of the French Croix de Guerre 1914-1918, the Cross of Honour of WW1. The village received the cross in 1920. The eagle in the chief is the eagle of the Francqueville family, last Lords of Bourlon in the 18<sup>th</sup> century. The eagle also symbolises the area around Cambrésis, which was once an Imperial estate, and thus the eagle represents the Imperial Eagle. | The cross in the lower half of the arms is the cross of the French Croix de Guerre 1914-1918, the Cross of Honour of WW1.
