| - The Vis-en-Artois Memorial is a World War I memorial located near the commune of Vis-en-Artois, in the Pas-de-Calais département of France. The memorial lists 9,843 names of British and South African soldiers with no known grave who were killed during the Advance to Victory, from 8 August 1918 to the Armistice (11 November 1918). The area of the frontline covered is described as "in Picardy and Artois, between the Somme and Loos". Canadian, Australian and New Zealand forces that fell during this period and were not found, are commemorated elsewhere on other memorials to the missing. The memorial has a screen wall in three parts on which are carved the names of the missing listed by regiment. The central screen is flanked by 70-foot high columns, with a Stone of Remembrance at centre. The carvings include one representing St George and the Dragon. The memorial was designed by the architect J. R. Truelove, with sculpture by Ernest Gillick. The memorial was unveiled on 4 August 1930 by the Rt. Hon. Thomas Shaw. Shaw, a Labour Party MP and cabinet minister, was present in his role as British Secretary of State for War. Also present was General Walter Braithwaite, who had served in the Mediterranean and on the Western Front during the war. (en)
- Vis-en-Artois Memorial is een oorlogsmonument dat werd opgericht voor de vermiste slachtoffers uit de Eerste Wereldoorlog die in de periode van 8 augustus 1918 tot de wapenstilstand tijdens de eindstrijd in Picardië en Artois en tussen de Somme en Loos, sneuvelden en geen gekend graf hebben. Dit monument maakt deel uit van de Vis-en-Artois British Cemetery, gelegen in de Franse gemeente Haucourt (departement Pas-de-Calais). Het monument werd ontworpen door en bestaat uit een schermwand in drie delen, opgebouwd in witte natuursteen. Het centrale deel van de schermwand is gebogen met in het midden een door beeldhouwer Ernest Gillick ontworpen reliëf dat de H. Joris en de Draak voorstelt. De andere delen van de schermwand zijn ook gebogen en maken deel uit van een overdekte zuilengalerij die de centraal opgestelde Stone of Remembrance omsluiten. Het verhoogd terras met de Stone wordt geflankeerd door twee pylonen van 21 m hoog. In de hele schermwand zijn 12 panelen aangebracht waarop de namen van 9.830 vermisten zijn gegraveerd. Ze behoorden tot de strijdkrachten van Groot-Brittannië, Ierland en Zuid-Afrika. De Canadese, Australische en Nieuw-Zeelandse vermisten worden herdacht op andere monumenten (meestal in de bestaande Britse oorlogsbegraafplaatsen). Het monument werd op 4 augustus 1930 door Rt. Hon. Thomas Shaw onthuld en wordt onderhouden door de Commonwealth War Graves Commission. (nl)
