The Loos Memorial
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, 170 are for men of the Yorkshire Regiment. For further details on each name, select the initial letter below 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 included below.

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.”
