Monument commemorating the capture of the villages of Beaumont and Hamel on November 13, 1916, by the Scottish Highlanders of the 51st Division.
The monument overlooks Ravine Y and depicts a kilted soldier looking toward the former German lines. On its base, an inscription in English and Gaelic reads: "It is good to have friends on the day of battle."

The Nymphe d'Aveluy is a historical monument in Aveluy, France, commemorating the artwork created by French soldiers during World War I. During periods of rest between battles, soldiers created sculptures and engravings, including the famous "Nymphe d'Aveluy". These works were often photographed and sent to their families on postcards.

Thiepval Memorial

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Parc Mémorial de Thiepval is an impressive war memorial that commemorates the 72,337 missing British and South African soldiers who died during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the memorial is considered one of the greatest British monumental works of the twentieth century. The park also includes a visitor centre, opened in 2004, and the Jardins de la Paix, where visitors can reflect and enjoy the serene surroundings. Every year on 1 July, remembrance ceremonies are held to honour the victims of the Battle of the Somme.

Ulster Tower

Highlight • Other

The Tour d'Ulster, also known as the Helen Tower or Tour de Belfast, is a British war memorial. It was built in 1921 to commemorate the soldiers of the 36th Ulster Division who died during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. The tower is a replica of a neo-Gothic tower in Clandeboye Park, near Belfast, where the 36th Division trained.
An interesting anecdote is that the 36th Ulster Division was the first to attack during the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, but suffered heavy losses from both German and British artillery fire. The division lost over 5,500 men in just a few hours. The Tour d'Ulster has a cafeteria where you can enjoy a cup of tea, scones or Tayto chips, a specialty from Northern Ireland. It is a nice place to relax.
