The Dorsetshire Regiment Monument commemorates the 5th Battalion of the Dorsetshire Regiment, a British infantry unit which fought its first battle at this location during the Second World War (1939-1945). The inscriptions on the monument will allow you to know more about the history of this regiment and its role in the different campaigns. The monument is located in a picturesque area, surrounded by fields and trees. You can enjoy the fresh air and views of the countryside as you stroll along the trails. The monument is also close to other attractions, such as the Bois d'Authuille in the Somme, where the regimental memorial is located.
