Description :
Erected in the heart of Delville Wood, renamed Devil's Wood, these two edifices pay homage to the South African soldiers who received their baptism of fire here. Out of the 3,200 men who took part in the attack of 15 July, only 143 returned unharmed 5 days later (this memorial is connected to the South African Museum). Also at Longueval is the memorial to the New Zealand Division.
