Le Touret Memorial and CWGC Cemetery – Designed by J.R. Truelove, this memorial is probably one of the least visited of the major Commonwealth memorials to the missing along the Western Front. And yet, with its tranquil location and beautiful design, it provides the perfect location to reflect on the sheer scale of sacrifice in this sector. The memorial records the names of 13,373 men of the British and 2 men of the Indian Army who fell in this area and who have no known grave from the beginning of the war up to the eve of the Battle of Loos on 25th September 1915. In particular, it records those from the British Army killed and missing from the Battles of Neuve Chapelle, Aubers Ridge (1,800 alone), and Festubert-Givenchy. The cemetery in front of the memorial contains the remains of 890 British, 11 Canadian, 9 Indian, 1 British West Indian and 4 German soldiers.
