Le Quesnel Memorial, Canadian military memorial in Le Quesnel, France.
The granite memorial block rests on a circular flagstone terrace surrounded by stone pathways, maple trees, and a holly hedge border.
Canadian Corps advanced 13 kilometers on August 8, 1918, marking the start of a major offensive that contributed to German forces' defeat.
The memorial inscriptions in English and French represent the connection between Canada and France during the First World War period.
Located 20 kilometers southeast of Amiens, the memorial can be reached by car via the D934 highway or by taxi service from the city.
The site marks the exact location where Canadian forces achieved their deepest penetration into German territory during the Battle of Amiens.
