Prachtig wit monument met de namen van 35.942 gesneuvelden op de muren waarvan nooit meer iets is teruggevonden uit de 1ste wereldoorlog, laten we hun offers nooit vergeten! Another interesting cemetery The Arras to the Missing is an imposing, but moving tribute to almost 35,000 men of the British and Commonwealth forces, most of whom fell during the Battle of Arras between April and May 1917. The forms the entrance to the Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery which contains the graves of more than 2,600 men, mostly from the Great War. Very poignant place, it really brings the reality of war home. Very sad to know that a name on the wall is a missing soldier or non combatant, they will never be forgotten. A beautiful in the centre of Arras. The Arras is actually several memorials to the Commonwealth all put together in one location. Here at the you will see Americans Germans Canadians British New Zealand South Africans as well as other people that help the Commonwealth during the war. There is also a Russian grave on site. I would recommend you plan at least 45 minutes to view and appreciate this location. Of special note is the German memorials mixed with the Commonwealth graves. At the far end of the cemetery you will also find a American Colonel who is memorialized in the cemetery. Beautiful but surrounded by houses with no parking, so not as peaceful as other memorials I've visited. There are a couple of steps to access, so it is not 100% accessible. No facilities. The Arras World War I memorial in France commemorates the deaths of no less than 35942 soldiers of the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand. The cemetery is beautifully kept with flowers and all graves are immaculately clean. This is dedicated to 35,942 Commonwealth soldiers who died in World War One in the Arras sector of France and have no known grave. It does not include the Australian and Canadian missing dead, who are instead listed on the Villers-Bretonneux and the Vimy respectively. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Impressive place. We'll kept, peaceful and thought provoking. Indrukwekkend aan de gesneuvelde militairen uit Groot Brittannië en haar koloniën gedurende de strijd in WO1 in de regio Arras en haar frontlinie. Een monument waar je stil van wordt door alle namen op de muren. Is such an beautiful place to visit and remember A wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives fighting in World War 1. Kept very clean and is very peaceful. It's hard to imagine all the names as people (around 36,000) but nice to pay your respects. Beautiful place to visit. Came with a large group at 11am and we had it to ourselves. Wonderfully maintained with beautiful flowers. Huge stone memorials provide a wonderful entrance while blocking out the noise from the streets making it very peaceful inside. We got to see German soldiers buried here and done so with respect. Their graves are maintained and some have new marble stones when theirs were too old or damaged. Always a pleasure to visit a war memorial. Neat, tidy and peaceful. Beautiful to visit whilst in the Artois Region of France. The Arras to the Missing incorporates the Flying Services and the Fabourg D’Amiens Cemetery. We went as a group with the Somme Society ,A beutifull cemitary with one of our members family recorded on a panal. The site is being used for Wedding photos on the inside on the blank sandstone walls . A Muslim wedding was using the Cemetary ,with piles of Pizza Boxes on the benches and a Total lack of respect to the Fallen . Neadless to say they were evicted with no doubt as to our feelings towards them . This is not a theme park Lovely well maitained cemetery. Car parking is available over the road, just follow the sign. Un lieu chargé d'émotion qui ne peut laisser personne indifférent.
