Courcelette Memorial, War memorial in Courcelette, France.
The Courcelette Memorial features a granite block on a circular flagstone terrace surrounded by maple trees and hedge gardens within a Y-shaped pathway layout.
The monument marks the position where Canadian forces reached during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in September 1916, advancing two kilometers from their starting point.
Four Canadian divisions united at this location during World War I, marking the first instance of their joint participation in a military operation.
The memorial site stands beside the D929 road south of Courcelette village, accessible by car from Amiens via a 30-kilometer drive on the A29 motorway.
Stone seats along the pathways provide visitors with direct views of the former battlefield, connecting present-day observers with the historical ground.
