The Monument aux Morts in Béhencourt commemorates the French soldiers who died during the wars of 1870-1871, the First World War, and the Second World War. The monument is located in the village of Béhencourt and contains several plaques with the names of the fallen. An interesting anecdote is that the monument also commemorates the victims of the Battle of l'Hallue, which took place on 23 and 24 December 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.
