The Canal du Nord is a 95 km long canal in northern France that connects the Oise Valley to the Dunkirk-Scheldt Canal. Construction began in 1908, but was interrupted by the First World War. The canal was not completed and opened to navigation until 1965. The canal has 19 locks and two tunnels, including the Ruyaulcourt Tunnel, which spans a height difference of 40 metres. The Canal du Nord is an important waterway for inland navigation, but will be replaced in the future by the Seine-Nord Europe Canal, a more modern connection.

The Tyneside Memorial (a region in northern England, near Newcastle) was erected on the site of the British trenches at the start of the Battle of the Somme. It commemorates two brigades of the 34th British Division (the Tyneside Scottish and Tyneside Irish) who lost 60% of their men attacking to the sound of bagpipes at this precise location on July 1, 1916, believing the enemy barbed wire had been destroyed by an artillery barrage. It reads: "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." "Here, opposite this monument, on July 1, 1916, the Tyneside Scottish and Tyneside Irish engaged the enemy for several hours. The fortunes of the fighting swung in and out, but before nightfall, the two Tyneside Brigades, with the help of other units of the 34th Division, achieved their objective. Do not think that the struggle and their sacrifice were in vain."
