Just across the road from the Notre-Dame-de-Lorette is a new memorial, which reflects the new reality of a Europe where the former enemies are now allies. It was, for me, a truly inspiring place. It includes the names of all the dead on the Artois battlefields, with no ranks, or nationalities or religions mentioned. Just a catalogue of lives lost.
