Robecq (; ) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France. Geography
Robecq is situated about  northwest of Béthune and  southwest of Lille. The Canal d’Aire and the rivers Clarence and Busnes all flow through the commune. History
During World War I intense action took place close to Robecq. In his posthumously published memoir, Private A S Bullock recalls the fighting at Bacquerolles Farm, noting that the German attack was repelled 'chiefly by my Lewis gun!'. He also recalls a much lighter, indeed hilarious, incident when the British troops stationed near Robecq were ordered to have a bath. Population
