The Pipers Memorial in Longueval is a special tribute to all pipers who died during the First World War, regardless of their regiment or origin. It was unveiled on 20 July 2002 and stands in the village square, just off the Rue de Bazentin. The bronze statue, designed by Andy De Comyn, shows a piper in full uniform climbing out of a trench playing—a powerful symbol of courage and moral support for troops under fire. Plaques around the plinth list the regiments that lost pipers, and the memorial also remembers heroes such as Piper James Richardson VC, who led his battalion into the attack with his music and was later killed trying to retrieve his bagpipes. It is a rare monument that honours not only military valour but also cultural identity and tradition. A place where music and memory come together in stone and bronze.

The New Zealand 'Ngā Tapuwae' Plaque in Longueval is a memorial plaque that forms part of the Ngā Tapuwae Trails, a series of commemorative trails that mark important locations where New Zealand troops fought during World War I. Interestingly, the plaque not only provides historical information but also includes personal stories from New Zealand soldiers. This allows visitors to feel a deeper connection to the events and the people involved. The plaque commemorates the fierce fighting that New Zealand troops fought during the Battle of the Somme in 1916.

Wancourt was captured on 12 April 1917 after very heavy fighting and the advance was continued on the following days. The cemetery, called at first Cojeul Valley Cemetery, or River Road Cemetery, was opened about ten days later; it was used until October 1918, but was in German hands from March 1918 until 26 August, when the Canadian Corps recaptured Wancourt. At the Armistice, the cemetery contained 410 graves, but was very greatly increased in the following years when graves were brought in from a number of small cemeteries and isolated positions on the battlefields south-east of Arras. The cemetery now contains 1936 burials and commemorations of the First World War. 829 of the burials are unidentified but there are special memorials to 76 casualties known or believed to be buried among them, and to 20 who were buried in Signal Trench Cemetery whose graves were destroyed in later battles.

The town of Bapaume presents one of the most traditional facets of Pas-de-Calais. From its belfry in the village center to the many trails that surround it, discover an authentic village.

French politician, MP and then resistance fighter, born on November 6, 1890 in Bapaume, he became mayor of the town in 1929. In 1934, he was elected general councilor of Pas-de-Calais. In 1936, he ran in the legislative elections and was elected in the second round. He was arrested in 1943 by the Nazis as he left the prefecture, and deported to the Gross-Rosen camp where he died on November 27, 1944. Since 1948, a monument showing him at the time of his arrest honors his memory. At the Town Hall there is an urn with soil from Gross-Rosen as well as a painting of him.

The 41st Division memorial sits in Flers in commemoration of their liberation of the village. This memorial, topped with a bronze battle dressed soldier, has been made particularly famous in its depiction as the photo on the cover of Rose Coombs' quintessential battlefield tour guide Before Endeavours Fade. The statue by Albert Toft is the same figure used at the Royal London Fusiliers Monument in London and Oldham war memorial

Flers was captured on 15 September 1916 by the 41st British Division and the New Zealand Division during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, which was the first significant combat action in the world to showcase tank warfare. The village was captured by the Germans during their 1918 Spring Offensive, but was recaptured by the 10th West Yorks and 6th Dorsets of the 17th British Division by the end of August 1918. The cemetery contains a total of 776 graves, including 493 from the United Kingdom, 155 from Australia, and 122 from New Zealand. 296 graves are unmarked. Special memorials are dedicated to 15 soldiers (8 from Australia, 5 from the United Kingdom, and 2 from New Zealand) believed to be buried among the unknown.
