ARRAS MEMORIAL
Grave Reference/
Panel Number:
Bay 3
Location:
The Arras Memorial is in the Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery, which is in the Boulevard du
General de Gaulle in the western part of the town of Arras. The cemetery is near the
Citadel, approximately 2 kilometres due west of the railway station.
The Memorial commemorates almost 35,000 casualties of the British, New Zealand and South
African Forces who died between Spring 1916 and 7th August 1918, with the exception of
casualties of the Battle of Cambrai in 1917, and who have no known grave.
The design, by Sir Edward Lutyens, consists of a cloister, 25 feet high and 380 feet long,
built up on Doric columns and faces west. In the broader part of the site the colonnade
returns to form a recessed and open court, terminated by an apse. The names of the
casualties are carved on stone panels fixed to the cloister walls.
