| There are 3 links in the Battle Fields of the Somme category. |
(1). Musée des Abris-Somme 1916 (The Shelters' Museum) |
| Describes the life of French, British and German soldiers in their trenches and dugouts during WW1, particularly during the Battle of the Somme. Situated underground in Albert, a centre of fighting during the Battle of the Somme. Website in English. |
(2). The Historial de la Grande Guerre |
(The Museum of the Great War)
The Historial is not like a conventional museum at all, and is an excellent place from which to plan a tour of the battlefields. Fascinating to anyone with the slightest interest in the 1st world war or the events that ran up to it, it also has thought hard about how to interest school students. |
(3). The Thiepval Memorial |
| This imposing mounment was commissioned in 1932 by the British governement to commemorate the 72,085 British and South African soldiers who fell during the Great War and who have no known graves. |
