  • Beaumont Hamel - SE01-2 Mémorial Du Commonwealth « 29 Th Division (Newfoundland) Memorial »
    Association « Paysages et Sites de mémoire de la Grande Guerre » SECTEUR K - LA VALLÉE DE L’ANCRE SE01 SE02 SE03 SE04 Description générale du secteur mémoriel Le secteur mémorial de la « Vallée de l'Ancre » se situe sur le plateau de l’Amiénois, sur les rives est et ouest de la rivière Ancre – un affluent de la Somme. Son organisation spatiale d’openfield en fait un paysage agraire ouvert, ponctué de villages, hameaux et bois. Le « saillant de Leipzig », sur les hauteurs, culmine à plus de 140m à l’est et constitue une véritable forteresse naturelle, dominant la vallée de l’Ancre. Au plan géologique, la vallée présente un limon argilo-sableux, tandis que le sol du plateau est constitué tant d’argile que de limon. Ces caractéristiques géologiques ont été utilisées pendant le conflit et ont eu un impact sur l’offensive. Le secteur mémoriel « Vallée de l'Ancre » regroupe quatre éléments constitutifs. Son homogénéité, tant chronologique qu’environnementale, architecturale et spatiale, en fait un lieu mémoriel unique, doté d’un maillage très dense de mémoriaux, cimetières et paysages marqués par le conflit. Chacun se distingue par une identité individuelle forte et complémentaire. C’est un territoire rural totalement « sacralisé », pour lequel la dimension funéraire de la Première Guerre mondiale constitue la première caractéristique : outre les stèles des combattants inhumés dans les cimetières, c’est surtout le « missing » ou « disparu » en anglais qui se trouve au cœur du discours architectural. En parallèle, la proximité et le principe de co-visibilité entre chaque élément constitutif contribuent à définir l’identité symbolique, esthétique et mémorielle unique qui caractérise cet espace, né de la bataille de la Sommeen 1916 (1 er juillet-18 novembre).

    THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME FIRST PHASE BY JOHN BUCHAN THOMAS NELSON ft SONS, LTD., 35 & 36, PATERNOSTER ROW, LONDON, E.C. EDINBURGH. NEW VORK. 4 PARIS. 1922 — THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME.* CHAPTER I. PRELIMINARIES. ROM Arras southward the Western battle- front leaves the coalpits and sour fields F of the Artois and enters the pleasant region of Picardy. The great crook of the upper Somme and the tributary vale of the Ancre intersect a rolling tableland, dotted with little towns and furrowed by a hundred shallop chalk streams. Nowhere does the land rise higher than 500 feet, but a trivial swell—such is the nature of the landscape jxfay carry the eye for thirty miles. There are few detached farms, for it is a country of peasant cultivators who cluster in villages. Not a hedge breaks the long roll of eomlands, and till the higher ground is reached the lines of tall poplars flanking the great Roman highroads are the chief landmarks. At the lift of country between Somme and Ancre copses patch tlje slopes, and the BATTLE OF THE SOMME. sometimes a church spire is seen above the trees winds iron) some woodland hamlet* The Somme faithfully in a broad valley between chalk bluffs, •dogged by a canal—a curious river which strains, “ like; the Oxus, through matted rushy isles,” and is sometimes a lake and sometimes an expanse of swamp, The Ancre is such a stream as may be found in Wiltshire, with good trout in, its pools. On a hot midsummer day the slopes are ablaze with yellow mustard, red poppies and blue cornflowers ; and to one coming from the lush flats of Flanders, or the “ black country ” of the Pas dc Calais, or the dreary levels of Champagne, or the strange melancholy Verdun hills, this land wears a habitable and cheerful air, as if remote from the oppression of war.
