A beautiful memorial in the centre of Arras. The Arras memorial is actually several memorials to the Commonwealth all put together in one location. Here at the memorial 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 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.

The Arras Memorial 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 memorial forms the entrance to the Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery which contains the graves of more than 2,600 men, mostly from the Great War.

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.

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 memorial 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.
