Yorkshire Regiment War Graves, - The Loos Memorial

The Loos Memorial and Dud Corner Cemetery
Photo : Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>)

The Loos Memorial forms the side and back of Dud Corner Cemetery, and commemorates over 20,000 officers and men who have no known grave. On either side of the cemetery is a wall 15 feet high, to which are fixed tablets on which are carved the names of those commemorated. At the back are four small circular courts, open to the sky, in which the lines of tablets are continued, and between these courts are three semicircular walls or apses, two of which carry tablets, while on the centre apse is erected the Cross of Sacrifice.

Of the more than 20,000 names on the memorial, 159 are for men of the Yorkshire Regiment. For further details on each name, select the initial letter on the left to be taken to another page which contains data on men whose surname starts with that letter.

Soldiers who originally served in the Yorkshire Regiment, but were serving in another regiment when they lost their lives, are shown in parenthesis, below. e.g. Corporal Carrie, P Y. The panels on which they are commemorated will be shown on the details (below) for that soldier's name.
Photos of the panels on which the names below are commemorated may be seen by selecting the link below. We are very grateful to Christopher Weekes (<weebex12@hotmail.com>) and Richard Roberts (<richard.nsw@googlemail.com>) for these photographs.

The View from the Loos Memorial to the Twin Slag Heaps of the famous Double Craisser

Note by Richard Roberts (<>);-
"This view is towards the famous Double Craisser. This long and tall slag heap was in the German lines and was assulted and taken by units of the 47th (London Division) on 25th September 1915. Much of it was retaken by the Germans and remained in enemy hands until 1918."
