If you google the Common wealth grave commission site you will be able to print a cerificate which should have a picture of the monument. I am glad I could help. Its free. |

The Arras Memorial is in the Faubourg-d'Amiens Cemetery, which is in the Boulevard du General de Gaulle in the western part of the town of Arras. The cemetery is near the Citadel, approximately 2 kilometres due west of the railway station. debs |
