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。

Philosophe British Cemetery is located in Mazingarbe and is managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The cemetery contains the graves of 1,996 Commonwealth soldiers who died during the First World War, of whom 277 are unidentified. The cemetery was established in August 1915 and was used by various divisions until October 1918.

A poignant story from Philosophe British Cemetery concerns Private Reginald Albert Twyford of the East Surrey Regiment. He died on 8 August 1916, at the young age of 15. His gravestone bears the inscription: "No King Or Saint Hath Tomb So Proud As He Whose Flag Becomes His Shroud," reflecting the deep honour and respect accorded even to the youngest soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.

A remarkable story about the ruins concerns the decision not to rebuild the church after the war. Although the church had been classified as a historical monument in 1908, the Commission for Historical Monuments decided that the ruins should remain as a testimony to the German destruction. Ironically, it was the French guns that had destroyed the church, but the ruins became a symbol of the war and the reconstruction.
