The Arras Memorial & the Faubourg D'Amiens Cemetery

The Arras Memorial & the Faubourg D'Amiens Cemetery are located on the western edge of the city of Arras.

The cemetery is the final resting place of 2,650 Commonwealth soldiers while the memorial commemorates over 35,000 who fell in the Arrass area in 1916-18 but have no known grave.

Like many Commonwealth War Grave Commision cemeteries, there are a small number of burials from non-Commonwealth countries, mainly Germany.

Please take a look at Video History Today http://www.videohistorytoday.com , the first web site to offer unique collections of re-usable original video clips designed for teachers and students.

The idea behind Video History Today is to give schools the raw material to make mini-documentaries and video essays on historical subjects.

Initial packages focus on World War I (Somme and Ieper areas), The Holocaust, the American Civil War and D-Day & Normandy 1944.
