アブレン＝サン＝ナゼール旧教会の遺跡は、第一次世界大戦の印象的で象徴的な遺物です。16世紀にジャック・ル・カロンによって華麗なゴシック様式で建てられたこの教会は、1915年の戦闘中にひどく損傷しました。この遺跡は、戦争の悲劇を記念するモニュメントとして保存されています。

The National Necropolis of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is located on Mont Hernu (173m) and opposite the necropolis, next to the anneau de la Mémoire you have a balcony set up as a lookout point.

During the Great War, the Ecoivres cemetery was first used by the French (nearly 1,000 French graves) and then by Canadian and British units between 1916 and 1918. There were 1,825 soldiers on the site, including 828 Canadians.

A remarkable story about the Vimy Memorial concerns its unveiling in 1936. More than 50,000 people, including 6,200 Canadians, attended the ceremony. The presence of so many veterans and survivors underscored the profound impact of the war and the enduring bond between Canada and France. The memorial has since become a symbol of Canadian courage and sacrifice.

The Mémorial national du Canada à Vimy is an impressive war memorial, commemorating the members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who died during the First World War. The memorial, designed by Walter Seymour Allward, was unveiled on 26 July 1936 by King Edward VIII. It commemorates the 11,169 Canadian soldiers who died in France and have no known grave.

A special story about the monument concerns the two colonels, Pein and Cros, who were both killed during the division's actions in May 1915. Their names are inscribed on the monument, along with an inscription commemorating the courage and determination of the soldiers: "Aux morts de la division marocaine, sans peur, sans pitié". This tribute emphasises the heavy losses and heroic efforts of the Moroccan Division during the battle.
