The Cambrai Memorial to the Missing (sometimes referred to as the Louverval Memorial)[1] is a Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) memorial for the missing soldiers of World War I who fought in the Battle of Cambrai on the Western Front.[2]

Foundation

Entrance pylon at Louverval Military Cemetery on 24 November 2017 shortly before a Drumhead Service by the Royal Tank Regiment marking the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Cambrai. The memorial to the missing is in the background.

The memorial stands at one end of Louverval Military Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery, which was founded by Commonwealth troops in April 1917 on the site of Louverval Chateau[3] in northern France.

The memorial lists the 7,048[4] missing soldiers of the United Kingdom and South Africa who died at the Battle of Cambrai and have no known graves.[5]

The memorial was designed by H. Chalton Bradshaw, who also designed the Ploegsteert Memorial to the Missing in Belgium,[6] with sculpture by Charles Sargeant Jagger.[2]

It was unveiled on 4 August 1930 by Lieutenant-General Sir Louis Ridley Vaughan.

Notable names

The memorial holds the names of seven recipients of the Victoria Cross who have no known grave.[7]
