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]
