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.

The Michelin enameled lava stone signs are an iconic part of French traffic signage. Produced by Michelin between 1910 and 1971, these signs are made of durable lava stone, enameled and mounted on a concrete base. They were used to provide traffic information and tourist directions and are known for their durability and resistance to weather conditions. Michelin began offering these signs to municipalities as a form of advertising, often featuring the name "Michelin" on the signs.

Le Trou Aid Post Cemetery was established in October 1914 by British soldiers of the 19th Infantry Brigade during the First Battle of Ypres. The cemetery initially contained 123 graves, but was expanded after the war. It now contains over 350 graves, of which over 200 are unknown. The cemetery commemorates soldiers who died in a number of battles, including Le Maisnil (October 1914), Aubers Ridge (May 1915), Loos (September–October 1915), and Fromelles (July 1916). A special feature of the cemetery is its rural setting, surrounded by a narrow moat and sheltered by a grove of weeping willows. Visitors reach the cemetery via a footbridge and enter through a delicate cottage-style gate.

The Rue-Petillon Military Cemetery was established in December 1914 and was used by British troops until the spring offensive of 1918, when the area fell into German hands. After its recapture by the Allies in September 1918, the cemetery was expanded to include graves from isolated locations and smaller cemeteries. The cemetery contains 895 identified graves of soldiers who died during the First World War. Many of them died of their wounds in a dressing station located in the nearby buildings known as 'Eaton Hall'.

Amidst the quiet roads of western Lille lies this listed cemetery, which is the final resting place of hundreds of Commonwealth soldiers from the First World War.

Beautiful cycle path, be careful if you are not comfortable on your bike, as some parts contain speed bumps due to the weather.
