Arras Memorial

The Arras Memorial, located within the Cimetière Militaire du Faubourg d'Amiens (Faubourg d'Amiens Military Cemetery), commemorates the 34 808 British, South African, and New Zealand soldiers killed in action in the Arras region during the First World War, between Spring 1917 and August 1918, who have no known resting place. Many of these soldiers participated in the Arras Offensive of April and May 1917, and the German Spring Offensive of 1918. Adjacent to the memorial are the graves of over 2650 British and Commonwealth soldiers, including 10 unidentified.

Nearby, The Arras Flying Service Memorial commemorates the deaths of almost 1000 members of the British Royal Air Force, the Royal Naval Air Service, and the Royal Flying Corps throughout the First World War who also possess no known grave. The cemetery and memorials are administered by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
