Stunning memorial commemorating more than 14,000 of the missing, the men of the British Empire who fell in the Somme area between March and August 1918. Casualties of the German Spring Offensive and subsequent battles who have no known grave. The memorial stands in open countryside, about a kilometre west of Pozières on the Bethune road. The front wall of the memorial is in an arcade style with an imposing gateway. The remaining three sides hold the panels containing the names of the missing. Enclosed within the four walls is the Pozières British Cemetery, the final resting place for more than 2,700 men, many of them from the original Somme battlefields dating from 1916.
