Vimy Ridge was the site of a major WWI battle in April 1917, where the Canadian Corps captured the ridge from German forces. It is believed to be the turning point in the Great War. Today, the Vimy Memorial stands there, honouring over 11,000 Canadian soldiers who died in France with no known grave.

Dartmoor Cemetery is a Commonwealth War Graves cemetery from World War I. Established in 1915, it contains the graves of British and Commonwealth soldiers, many of whom died in the Battle of the Somme. It serves as a quiet place of remembrance for those who gave their lives in the war.

The Lochnagar Crater.

The Lochnagar Crater was created on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, by a huge British mine explosion under German lines. Measuring about 91 meters wide and 21 meters deep, it remains one of the largest man-made mine craters from WWI. It is now preserved as a memorial.
