The Serre-Hébuterne National Cemetery contains the remains of 834 men (including 240 in an ossuary) from the 243rd and 327th Infantry Regiments (RI) killed during the fighting at Hébuterne from June 10 to 13, 1915. Inside the cemetery, a large monument pays tribute to "To the Memory of the Heroes who died for France at Hébuterne, June 10-13, 1915." A stele, erected in 1917 on the site where the bodies of the combatants lay buried, is dedicated to "The brave men of the 243rd who died for their country on June 10, 1915." Finally, a chapel, located opposite the cemetery, on the other side of the road, was built in 1936. In the midst of the "Artois Offensive," it was decided to create a diversion south of this front, and thus, on June 7, 1915, the Toutvent farm, southeast of Hébuterne, was captured by the 21st Infantry Division. The next day, the 101st Brigade of the 51st Division, composed of the 233rd, 243rd, and 327th Infantry Regiments, reserves of the Arras, Lille, and Valenciennes regiments, which had just fought in Champagne, a total of 5,000 men, moved into line south of the village. On June 10, insufficient artillery preparation, which could not demolish the barbed wire networks, delayed the assault by 12 hours, during which time the German artillery bombarded the trenches and trenches where the Poilus were crowded. The assault finally given, they had to cover the 350 meters of a valley dominated by enemy machine guns. The first line was taken at the cost of heavy losses and, the next day, the artillery and 3 German counterattacks caused many more casualties. On the 13th, the assault resumed and the second line was finally captured. From June 10 to 13, the losses were as follows: 15 officers and 400 men killed and 500 wounded in the 243rd; 4 officers and 200 men killed and 500 wounded in the 327th; 50 men, killed or wounded, in the 233rd which was in reserve
