Stephen Nulty Posted 13 November , 2007 Share Posted 13 November , 2007 I would suggest that you visit the CWGC web site and look up the memorials/cemeteries. This will give you a brief history of the cemetery, which might go some way to answering your query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinglma Posted 13 November , 2007 Share Posted 13 November , 2007 London Girl The Arras memorial is in the Faubourg D'Amiens Cemetery which is located in Arras itself (on the western ring road). Its a pleasant 10 minute walk from the centre of the town. Alternatively there are parking bays to the front and back of the cemetery. Maroeuil British Cemetery is about four miles north west of Arras between the N39 and D341 both of which roads run from Arras.
