Description
The gothic church St Martin can be found towering on a hill above the newer part of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, amidst the medieval old town. There has been a church on this site since Norman times but the original has been destroyed during the 15th century. The church you can see today has been built during the 17th century and stands on the site of the older version. Like many houses in the old town it features chequered flint and sandstone walls, many gargoyles adorn the exterior.

Description
The Chinese Labour Corps was a force of workers recruited by the British government in World War I to support the troops by performing support work and manual labor. The workers were tasked with carrying out essential work to support the frontline troops, such as building dugouts, repairing roads and railways, digging trenches and filling sandbags. The Corps did not take part in combat. According to the records kept by the British and French recruiters, around 2,000 Chinese Labour Corps died during World War I, most from the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu, some as a direct result of enemy action or of wounds received in the course of their duties. This figure is contested by some Chinese scholars who say the number was as high as 20,000. They were classified as war casualties and were buried in 17 cemeteries in the North of France with a total of about 2000 tombs (also a few tombs in one cemetery in Belgium).[One of the four following proverbs were inscribed on the standard Commonwealth War Grave Portland stone gravestones: "Faithful unto death", "A good reputation endures forever", "A noble duty bravely done" and "Though dead he still liveth".
