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 special event took place in May 2024, when the reburial of Private David Valentine Gemmell was held. His remains were discovered by a farmer in Cuinchy and identified by MOD War Detectives. The ceremony was attended by members of his family and the regiment to pay their respects. It was an emotional and respectful occasion, which also included the remembrance of an unknown soldier.

Woburn Abbey Cemetery is a cemetery managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). The cemetery contains the graves of over 550 soldiers who died in the First World War. The cemetery was originally established by the Royal Berkshire Regiment in June 1915 and contains graves of soldiers from several smaller cemeteries in the area.

The Tunnellers' Memorial was unveiled in 2010 and commemorates the efforts of the Tunnelling Companies of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand during the First World War. The memorial is made of Lakeland slate and reflects the exact dimensions of the tunnels used by the tunnellers. A notable anecdote about the Tunnellers' Memorial involves William Hackett, the only tunneller to be awarded the Victoria Cross. During a mission in June 1916, Hackett repeatedly refused to abandon a colleague, Thomas Collins, who was trapped after a tunnel collapse caused by a German mine explosion. Despite his own safety, Hackett remained with Collins, ultimately leading to his own death. His courage and sacrifice are honoured by the memorial, which features a 'T', reminiscent of the tunnellers' shoulder badge, and points to the exact location where Hackett and Collins are still buried.

Three tunnelers were saved by William Hackett, who unfortunately did not survive, along with his companion Thomas Collins. William Hackett was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions.
