The Mémorial à la 18e Division britannique consists of a stone obelisk with bronze plaques on each side. These plaques commemorate the officers, non-commissioned officers and men of the division and record the battles in which the division fought. Interestingly, the 18th British Division played a crucial role in the Battle of the Somme, suffering significant losses but making important territorial gains.

Officially part of the Historial de la Grande Guerre, the Thiepval Museum is located near the impressive Thiepval Memorial and offers an in-depth look at the Battle of the Somme of 1916. Opened in 2016 to mark the centenary of this bloody battle, the museum comprises seven thematic areas, each highlighting a different aspect of the war. One of the highlights is the 60-metre-long panoramic comic strip by artist Joe Sacco, which vividly depicts the events of 1 July 1916. Visitors will gain insight not only into the military strategies, but also into the human suffering and the culture of remembrance surrounding the missing of the Somme.

The Tour d'Ulster, also known as the Helen Tower or Tour de Belfast, is a British war memorial. It was built in 1921 to commemorate the soldiers of the 36th Ulster Division who died during the Battle of the Somme in World War I. The tower is a replica of a neo-Gothic tower in Clandeboye Park, near Belfast, where the 36th Division trained. An interesting anecdote is that the 36th Ulster Division was the first to attack during the Battle of the Somme on 1 July 1916, but suffered heavy losses from both German and British artillery fire. The division lost over 5,500 men in just a few hours. The Tour d'Ulster has a cafeteria where you can enjoy a cup of tea, scones or Tayto chips, a specialty from Northern Ireland. It is a nice place to relax.

An interesting anecdote is that the Royal Naval Division was originally formed from reservists of the British Navy who had no place on ships during the war. This unit was trained as infantry and played a crucial role in several battles, including the Battle of the Ancre.

The British Royal Naval Division Memorial in Beaucourt-sur-l'Ancre commemorates the officers and men of the Royal Naval Division who died during the Battle of the Ancre, part of the great Somme offensive. The memorial is located on Rue d'Hamel (Route D50) and Chemin de Serres les Pusieux.

The Cratère de Lochnagar, an impressive war memorial, was created by a huge mine blown up by the British Royal Engineers on 1 July 1916, as part of the Battle of the Somme. The explosion marked the beginning of the battle and left a crater 90 metres in diameter and 25 metres deep. Interestingly, the crater was named after Lochnagar Street, the trench from which the tunnel was dug. The crater is now a preserved site of remembrance and a religious service is held there every year on 1 July in memory of those who died.
