Not exactly on the Somme battlefields area, but ,off the top of my head, I can think of the memorial to the 7/R.Sussex commemorating their actions of 18th - 20th May 1940 just SW of Amiens near Salouel. The remains of the chateau (basically, just the foundations) which was Bn HQ is also visible (and visitable) nearby.
