Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Came to find great uncles name on memorial. Folders with names and details of those who had fallen. Beautiful tranquil place but so sad. What a senseless waste.

There is a cafe nearby Le Feeling for coffee and sold us a pen as we didn’t have one to write in the book. Really helpful friendly owner.

Beautifully maintained by the CWGC staff, the Memorial to the Missing is a sobering reflection of the impact of warfare in WW1. Panel after panel record the names of the missing while 1200 grave markers (many unidentified) stand in silent tribute to their missing colleagues. Open 24 hours, it makes a pleasant backdrop to an evening walk.

Visited whilst in Arras. The cemetery is easily accessible and seems to be open all hours. You can combine with a walk around the nearby Arras Citadelle.

Having been to the Wellington tunnels the day before and heard about the tragic loss of life at Arras, we had to visit the commonwealth war graves here in Arras. A well manicured and presented commonwealth war cemetery for the 1000's of brave young men that never made it home! We will remember them...RIP

In a part of France that - tragically - has dozens of similarly impressive memorials to the sheer folly of war, this one in Arras is however very special. The impressive monumental memorial surrounding the impeccably maintained cemetery gives it a haunting silence and calmness, despite its location right on one of Arras' major roads. Very memorable. (Easy parking just across the road.)

A special WW1 memorial and very close to the main Arras main square. Beautiful cemetery and well kept graves of commonwealth soldiers and also some prisoners of war.
An incredibly moving monument to all those men - sons, fathers, grandfathers, brothers, uncles and friends who never returned home. It is easy to get lost in your thoughts here. Thank you and RIP to those lost.

Well worth visiting this WW1 memorial.. it is only about 10 minutes walk from main square. Apart from all the graves of the commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives there are also some German prisoner of war graves...

Ihave been to this site twice. It is very atmospheric and contains one of the first ever memorials to the RFC and RAF. Good place to have a service if you have a priest with you.
