Mametz Wood

Mametz Wood is a historic battlefield in France, central to the Battle of the Somme during World War I in 1916. It was a fierce conflict where British forces fought to capture the heavily wooded area from German troops. The woodland became a symbol of sacrifice, with thousands of soldiers losing their lives or being wounded. Today, Mametz Wood is a memorial site, marked by a sculpture and memorials honoring those who fought and died there. It serves as a powerful reminder of the costs of war and the importance of remembrance.
