There is a plaque acknowledging the efforts of Sth African troops in Amiens Cathedral. However, the place that will interest South African visitors the most is  Longueval, near to the limit between the Somme and the Pas-de -Calais departments (provinces). The South African memorial and museum is in a beautiful, inspiring setting. All around is Devil’s Wood, as the soldiers called it, (really Delville Wood) a site where ferocious hand-to-hand fighting took place.

In addition, many South African soldiers are remembered on the Thiepval monument which is the British Memorial to the missing soldiers of the Somme battles.
