Arras Memorial, War memorial in Arras, France
Arras Memorial sits within Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery and displays stone panels carved with names of over 35,000 Commonwealth servicemen who have no identified graves. The names are arranged systematically across the memorial structure, creating a comprehensive record of these fallen soldiers.
Architect Edwin Lutyens and sculptor William Reid Dick completed this memorial in 1932 following the First World War. It was built to honor those who died on the Western Front and had no identified resting place.
The memorial displays names of servicemen from across the Commonwealth, united in remembrance at this single location. This assembly reflects the far-reaching impact of the First World War and the many nations involved in the conflict.
The memorial is accessible year-round in a quiet setting suited for reflection and remembrance. Visitors should expect occasional ceremonies that take place on commemorative dates.
The stone blocks were carved from two different types of stone: Euville stone from France and Portland limestone from England. This choice reflects the partnership between the two nations in creating this memorial site.
