The French handed over Arras to Commonwealth forces in the spring of 1916 and the system of tunnels upon which the town is built were used and developed in preparation for the major offensive planned for April 1917.
The Arras Memorial commemorates almost 35,000 servicemen from the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand who died in the Arras sector between the spring of 1916 and 7 August 1918, the eve of the Advance to Victory, and have no known grave. The most conspicuous events of this period were the Arras offensive of April-May 1917, and the German attack in the spring of 1918.
Of the nearly 35,000 names on the Arras Memorial, 394 are those of men of the Yorkshire Regiment. Two of the Yorkshire Regiment soldiers were winners of the Victoria Cross, - 2nd Lieutenant Beal and Captain Hirsch.
The names of the men of the Yorkshire Regiment found on the
Arras Memorial are listed below. For further details on each name, select
