Wartime Memorials The clash of battles and cries of the wounded is replaced by the silence of remembrance. The memory of the wars of the 20th Century is one of the principal elements of the region’s identity. Although there are places where you are simply left to your imagination, others are intrinsically devoted to commemoration. In the wake of all these events, Nord-Pas de Calais bears witness to an unflinching desire for peace, and resistance to future crimes. The many monuments remind us that the region has shed enough blood already.
