We whent to pay our respect. And say thank you for their sacrifice
What a place, so moving to stsnd St on the spot were on the 1st July 1916 the Pals Bittalions went over the top, it is chillingvto see the distance that they were expected to take, knowing that the German Machine Guns were waiting for them.This is a must see, and by visiting this site and others, in some way these mens lives live on as we remember there sacrifice.
Watch out for the lunatic farmer who attacks visitors.
Very well maintained and moving cemeteries and memorial wood.Be advised the local farmer doesn’t like people driving up the farm track to the wood and he’s NOT polite about it.
A must visit site amongst so many
A humbling place to spend some.
Great, moving. The best was our dear friend Tim Rayson, who put us somehow into the position of the soldiers on 1st July 1916
Amazing place to visit. A terrible loss of life ,but we will never forget their sacrifice.
Beautiful memorial to the Accrington and Barnsley pals battalions cut down on the first day of the Somme.HOWEVER....we attempted to drive up the dirt track that is signposted as access to the site in our small van. Near the top of the lane we encountered who we assume to be the landowner in a Dacia car, who blocked the path and forced us agressively to reverse back down to the main road. The sign at the bottom of the farm track prohibits coach access but advises parking outside serre road no1 cemetery. To a first time visitor it isnt clear that this is on the main road and not somewhere up the track. The sign doesnt explicitly prohibit access by car.It would appear that the landowner is actively trying to restrict vehicular access to this site. Ive been told by locals that his behaviour has been the subject of newspaper articles and that he thinks its funny. I called the foreign office but they werent interested.
Do visit - small and very quiet and possibly as a consequence very emotional (more so I found than Thiepval, which was overwhelming in scale). A moving memorial to the pals.
I recommend this for any pilgrim
Moving....a must visit !
Very interesting history
Amazing to see the remains of shell holes and trenches and to look up no mans land towards where the German positions were. Very humbling. Also odd to see a Sheffield City council sign so far away from home. Humbling experience.
Beautifully kept memorial containing excellent information about the British positions in this area of the Somme battlefields. Well done to Sheffield City Council for recognising the importance of this site.
Very peaceful resting place for the many who tragically lost their lives fighting for our future.
Quiet but very moving....
Well worth a visit a must see place
Very moving experience.
Very well kept, and a sobering location to visit.
Nice serene place and to take a moment to remember the fallen during WW1.
Sobering and worthwhile experience
Very peaceful and well kept.
A lovely part of the Somme battlefield - pretty much unspoilt.
A must
Makes you think about those who gave their lives for us
Peaceful, a place to visit
Very emotional place seen where the Barnsley pals went over the top
Like all of the British War Graves, deeply moving.
Have visited here twice, the last being in March 2017. Very moving and haunting place.
So atmospheric & thought provoking
Battlefield memorial park commemorating the Pals battalions who died here in 1916, especially on 1st July.
