This memorial commemorates almost 4,000 British soldiers who died in the Aisne and Marne battles of 1918 and have no known grave. It was designed by G.H. Holt and V.O. Rees, with sculpture by Eric Kennington. It symbolises the heavy losses suffered by the British IX and XXII Corps during the German spring offensives 1 2.

In Soissons, the war was raging right in the city center and the river was the border. The monument to the British, who made an important contribution here, testifies to the great gratitude of the population for the brotherhood in arms. At the same time, it keeps the madness of this war in the public eye.
