Sailly-Saillisel, at the northern end of a ridge, was the objective of French attacks in September and October 1916, and was captured on October 18. The village remained in Allied hands until March 24, 1918, when it was lost during the German advance, but was recaptured by the 18th and 38th (Welsh) Divisions on September 1, 1918. The cemetery now contains 771 burials from isolated graves and several smaller cemeteries nearby. 300 of the graves are unidentified.

The Église Notre-Dame De L’Assemption is a Catholic church located in the commune of Doingt, in the east of the Somme department, near Péronne. The church was built in the second quarter of the 20th century and was inaugurated on 26 October 1930. It was designed by the architect Maurice Quentin and is built in the Neo-Romanesque style with a traditional basilica plan. The facade of the church has features of Romanesque art, such as sober and narrow windows, buttresses, a circular portico with a typed sculpture representing the Virgin surrounded by angels, arched folds resting on a column on each side, and a rose window above the portico. The church has a massive and projecting bell tower which is reminiscent of Romanesque bell towers by its structure and sober decoration. The interior of the church is decorated with a mural by Gustave Riquet representing the Assumption of the Virgin. The church was restored in 2016-2017.

Doingt is a commune on the banks of the River Somme. The settlement was destroyed during the First World War. A Commonwealth cemetery is located just outside the town. The village and its church have been rebuilt and in 2023 a crucifix, rescued from the ruins of the village church by a British military chaplain after the Battle of the Somme and placed in All Saints’ Church, Tinwell in Rutland, England, was returned to the new church.

Saint-Pierre Church, rebuilt from 1928 to 1932 by the architect Louis Faille, originally from Nurlu. The Stations of the Cross, the mosaic of the high altar and the stained glass windows (twenty-one windows) are the work of Gérard Ansart. The stained glass windows were made by the Cagnart workshop in 1932. The church has organs that have been highlighted by the Association of Friends of the Organs of Péronne, Moislains and Epehy (ADOPME) since 2008.
