Memorial to the Missing - Arras

Our first visit was to this beautiful cemetery where are recorded the names of 35942 officers and men of the forces of the British Empire who fell in the battles of Arras or in air operations above the Western Front and who have no known grave. Amongst them two Old Oakhamians.
