Miraumont is a small village in the Somme department, in the Hauts-de-France region, which occupies a historically and geographically special place. It is situated in a narrow valley at the source of the Ancre River, a tributary of the Somme, and is surrounded by gently rolling hills that were once the scene of fierce fighting during the First World War. During the Battle of the Somme in 1916, Miraumont was close to the front line and was badly hit. Today it is a quiet rural commune of around 630 inhabitants, where the past is still palpable in the surroundings and in nearby military cemeteries. Its proximity to other historic sites such as Thiepval and Beaumont-Hamel makes it a worthwhile stop for those wishing to explore the region's wartime past.

On 11 April 1944, an Avro Lancaster Mk I, serial number LL836 BQ-E, crashed near Achiet-le-Petit, in the Bois de Logeast, during a mission by the RAF 550 Squadron. The aircraft had taken off from North Killingholme in England and was part of a bombing raid on the railway installations at Aulnoye-Aymeries, as part of the Allied Transportation Plan2. The Lancaster was intercepted and shot down at around 02:43 by a German night fighter, a Messerschmitt Bf 110, flown by Hauptmann Helmut Bergmann. The aircraft exploded in mid-air and came down in flames approximately 1.5 km north-northwest of Achiet-le-Petit3. All seven crew members were killed. Among them were five Britons and two Canadians, including: F/Lt Richard William Picton (pilot, age 24, DFC) F/O John Foster Potter (bomb aimer, age 23, RCAF) F/O John James Logan (navigator, age 26, DFC) Sgt William Essar (age 22, RCAF) Sgt Thomas Henry Guest (flight engineer) Sgt Kenneth Percy Charles Williams (radio operator, DFM) F/Lt William Hugh Waycott (air force, age 22, DFM)3 They are all buried in Achiet-le-Petit cemetery.

Integrated into the communal cemetery, this necropolis contains 888 bodies: 863 casualties of the First World War and 25 casualties of the Second World War. 644 British, 202 Canadian, 39 Australian, and 3 Indian. It was primarily used by combat units and field ambulances from August 1915 to March 1918, when these troops replaced French units in the area. Activity was particularly intense from September to November 1916, when aid stations were numerous in Albert, located just behind the front where the final weeks of the Battle of the Somme were taking place. It was not until the end of August 1918 that this cemetery was again used by the 18th Division. During the Second World War, the extension was used again when the French moved 25 British casualties there from isolated graves in and around Albert.

The extension to the Mesnil-Martinsart Communal Cemetery was built in July 1916, at the time of the Battle of the Somme, and contains 333 graves: 321 British, 5 Canadians, and 7 New Zealanders. Since the village of Mesnil was located near the front until September 1916, and again from March to August 1918, this cemetery was begun in July, at the time of the Battle of the Somme. Although bodies were still being buried in 1918, it was mainly after the armistice that a large number of bodies from the nearby battlefield, located northeast of Mesnil, were gathered here. This was the case for 141 British sailors and soldiers, as well as the Canadians from Mesnil Dressing Station Cemetery. This cemetery was located during the war to the west of the village, near a small railway line, which was mainly used to transport munitions. It was used from June 1916 to February 1917, and again from March to July 1918, mainly by the 63rd Division: the Royal Naval Division

The Sucrerie Military Cemetery was built by French troops in the early summer of 1915, a few hundred meters from the Mailly-Maillet sugar refinery from which it takes its name, before being used by the British from July 1915 to August 1918. It now contains 1,104 graves, 219 of which have not been identified: 965 British, 13 Canadian, 29 Australian, 65 New Zealander, and 32 South African. The last man buried here was in fact a Scottish soldier, Alexander McIntyre, of the Cameron Highlanders, who died on December 25, 1918, at the age of 50. He had been transferred to the 5th Prisoner of War Company, which suggests that he was guarding German prisoners after the armistice and that he died, accidentally or naturally, during his service.

The monument to the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders is a Celtic cross symbolically erected on the embankment of a sunken road, at the spot where the men of this regiment rushed to capture the village of Beaumont-Hamel on November 13, 1916, at the end of the Battle of the Somme. First, on July 1, when it was located in no man's land, exactly equidistant from the British and German trenches, and served as a refuge for so many soldiers wounded during the fighting; then, five days before the end of that same battle, when the village of Beaumont-Hamel was finally captured on November 13, by the men of the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who had rushed from that position. The 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders was a Scottish regiment that fought on several fronts. A reading of the inscriptions engraved on the different sides of the base of this monument tells us this. Thus, this cross is dedicated to the glory of the battalion's glorious dead and to the memory of those who will never return. Its combat losses, throughout the war, amounted to 51 officers and 831 men and non-commissioned officers, including 105 wounded officers and 2,527 men and non-commissioned officers. Finally, a Celtic inscription reveals "it is good to have friends on the day of battle." Mobilized from August 4, 1914, to November 12, 1919, a period of five years and 100 days, the regiment fought from May 1, 1915, to November 11, 1918, in Belgium and France. Until 1918, the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders belonged to the 51st Division; In 1915, it fought at Richebourg, Festubert and on Thiepval Ridge, which was to leave a sad memory for the British on 1 July 1916 (this is where the memorial to the missing now stands); in 1916, it fought at the Labyrinth, Vimy Ridge, Fourcaux Wood (High Wood), Beaumont-Hamel (there, therefore) and Courcelette; in 1917, it was Roclincourt, Arras, Roeux, Ypres and Cambrai. In 1918, the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders fought as part of the 61st Division at Saint-Quentin, Holnon Wood, Villéveque, Nesle, Villers-Bretonneux and on the Lys; but also within the 15th division which distinguished itself at Soissons, at Buzancy and in the final advance which would lead to the armistice

At the start of the Battle of the Somme, a powerful German fortified redoubt stood at this location on a hilltop protecting the approach to Beaumont-Hamel. On July 1, 1916, while all the mines exploded at 7:28 a.m., two minutes before the assault began, Hawthorn Ridge exploded at 7:20 a.m. This was a decision made by Lieutenant-General Hunter-Weston, commanding the 8th Corps. Its explosion certainly caused damage to the fortifications and the German troops, but they had plenty of time to set up their machine guns, much to the misfortune of the British infantrymen who set out to assault this ridge carrying thirty kilos of equipment over a distance of approximately 500 meters. On November 13, 1916, the final phase of the Battle of the Somme began, ending three days later. Beaumont-Hamel, one of the objectives of July 1st, was still in German hands. This time it was up to the Scots of the 51st Division to capture the village. In support of this attack, a second mine exploded under Hawthorn Ridge (November 26, 1916) a few minutes before the troops rushed from their positions, this time located less than 250 meters away, where today stands the monument to the Scottish regiment of the 8th Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. The ruins of Beaumont-Hamel railway station and the village were this time captured.
