An impressive place, furrowed earth, craters and memorial stones: this is where the British advance against the German position in Serre began in 1916.

The Sheffield Memorial Park in Hébuterne pays tribute to the men of the 31st Division of the British Army who served in the Pals Battalion and fell in combat in this sector.

The Pals Battalions were formed in the autumn of 1914 following recruitment campaigns launched by the War Office. Thousands of volunteers, brothers, cousins, neighbors, friends, and work colleagues enlisted at local recruiting offices at the same time. The regiments were thus composed of soldiers who knew each other very well and thus formed battalions of "friends," the Pals Battalions.

During the fighting in the early days of the Battle of the Somme, these Sheffield Pals Battalions fought in the Hébuterne sector. Their objective was to advance east through the German lines and retake the fortified village of Serre.
