Article intéressant de la Voix du Nord sur l'arrivée de touristes anglais et canadiens pour célebrer le 90e Anniversaire de la bataille d'Arras.

What is interesting is a detail about the authors of the famed underground tunnels that are found around the area: they were built by New Zealand sappers to conceal some 25 000 British soldiers who were going to attack the Germans.
La Première Guerre était bel et bien une guerre internationale. Les alliés en font foi. WWI was very much an international war - here is a fine example of the Allies working together.
