The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme

The Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme bears the names of more than 72,000 officers and men of the UK and South African forces who died in the Somme sector and who have no known grave.  Over 90% of those commemorated died between July and November 1916, the duration of what we now call the Battle of the Somme.
