The Musée de la Bataille de Fromelles is dedicated to the Battle of Fromelles of 19–20 July 1916, which pitted British and Australian troops against a Bavarian division. The museum offers a comprehensive exhibition on the battle, the 2009 archaeological excavations that unearthed the bodies of 250 soldiers, and the identification campaign that followed.

Attacking in a southerly direction, Capt Kennedy was shot while leading 'B' Company in the Battle of Aubers Ridge. He and his men had got well beyond the German line which ran roughly east-west where the preserved bunkers are today. His mother later wrote "He had crossed the road and was on the Fromelles side of it when he was shot by a sniper. His men tried to carry him back but he was terribly wounded and after they had carried him back across the road he told them to put him down..." Capt P A Kennedy, 2/Rifle Brigade Killed in action 9 May 1915. No known grave. Remembered on the Ploegsteert Memorial.

Calvary in memory of Captain Paul Adrian Kennedy, killed while leading his company during the offensive at the Battle of Aubers, on May 9, 1915. That day alone, 12,000 soldiers fell. This ordeal was erected by the mother of the captain who lost 3 of her sons during the war. With the help of her 4th son, also a soldier but surviving the conflict, she set out to find the graves of her 3 children. This was done for 2 of them (identified in cemeteries in Villers-Bretonneux and Cateau-Cambrésis), but they did not find a grave for Paul. She then had this ordeal erected in her memory during a ceremony in 1921, and visited it frequently until her death in 1939. The 4th son took over the maintenance and preservation of the memorial, which, since her death in 1965, and now maintained by the municipality of Fromelles.

A local classic, a pleasure to go down, rather take the central part drawn by the tractors and go back up for the more adventurous!

Passage through fields which avoids going down to go up by road

A nice descent or a nice climb, it depends on the direction. But nice passage in both directions

passage that allows a few moments to get out of the bitumen
