The first occasion when a group of survivors from 7th Battalion The Royal Sussex Regiment returned to France was in 1980. They were accompanied on this trip by their Commanding Officer Lt. Colonel Gethen and placed a simple wooden cross on the site of their battle. This trip led to seven others and gave birth to a warm relationship with the City of Amiens. Following this trip, the City authorities erected a simple stone monument to act as a permanent reminder of the sacrifice of men of 7th Battalion and in recognition of the time that their valiant stand gave to the City to prepare for occupation.
