The Arras Memorial is a World War I memorial in France, located in the Faubourg d'Amiens British Cemetery, in the western part of the town of Arras. The memorial commemorates 34,785 soldiers of the forces of the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand, with no known grave, who died in the Arras sector between the spring of 1916 and 7 August 1918.
During this period many soldiers were found dead during the battle of arras, the cut-off date of August the 7th 1918 signifies the start of the Advance to Victory, and casualties after that date are listed on other memorials.
Designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the memorial includes sculpture by Sir William Reid Dick. Located in the same cemetery is the Arras Flying Services Memorial, commemorating 991 airmen with no known grave.
