Heilly

Heilly (French pronunciation: [ɛji]; Picard: Heillin) is a commune in the Somme department in Hauts-de-France in northern France.

Heilly is situated on the D52 road, some 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Amiens.

During the First World War, being on the railway line Amiens-Albert meant receiving many of the dead bodies from the Battle of the Somme.

Over 3000 graves are in the military cemetery.
