The Arras Flying Services Memorial, designed by Edwin Lutyens and sculpted by William Reid Dick, stands in the Faubourg d'Amiens Cemetery in Arras, France. Unveiled on 31 July 1932 by Hugh Trenchard, 1st Viscount Trenchard, Marshal of the Royal Air Force, the memorial commemorates nearly 1,000 Commonwealth airmen killed on the Western Front during the First World War who have no known grave. Maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and designated a World Heritage Site, it represents a significant architectural response to the remembrance of air warfare's fallen.
