Calvary in memory of Captain Paul Adrian Kennedy, killed while leading his company during the offensive at the Battle of Aubers, on May 9, 1915. That day alone, 12,000 soldiers fell. This ordeal was erected by the mother of the captain who lost 3 of her sons during the war. With the help of her 4th son, also a soldier but surviving the conflict, she set out to find the graves of her 3 children. This was done for 2 of them (identified in cemeteries in Villers-Bretonneux and Cateau-Cambrésis), but they did not find a grave for Paul. She then had this ordeal erected in her memory during a ceremony in 1921, and visited it frequently until her death in 1939. The 4th son took over the maintenance and preservation of the memorial, which, since her death in 1965, and now maintained by the municipality of Fromelles.
