I think Cabaret Rouge is the most impressiv and beautiful of all CWGC cemeteries in the Arras area. Various extensions have created a non standard layout but this only adds to the impressive standard to which it is maintained. For contrast, Cabaret Rouge is a short drive from the largest German and largest French cemeteries in the area both of which are worth a visit to contrast the style of commemoration for the different nations. Notable for the single headstone which marks the spot where Canada's unknown warrior was exhumed and transported to the nation's capital.

Standing on a main road, this cemetery is on the itinerary of many tours. Impressive in terms of both layout and maintenance, it stands as a memorial to many of the lives lost during the Great War. The necropolis and lantern tower of Notre Dame de Lorette can be seen easily in the distance.

This commonwealth cemetery is populated (or at least seems to be so) with the bodies of so many Canadians. Indeed the unknown soldier who now rests at the War Memorial in Ottawa came from Cabaret Rouge and we visited his former grave. Apparnetly the usual way for the selection of an unknown soldier is to have a sightless person select the unknown soldier. This is a beautiful, solumn and sombre place.

We came upon this large British Cemetery quite by accident on our way to Notre Dame de Lorette. We first passed a WWI Czechoslovakian Cemetery. We are Czech and the names immediately sounded familiar. It is the La Targette Cimetiere Militaire Ceskoslovesky. Not too far along we came upon Cabaret Rouge British Cemetery. Like all CWGC sites, this cemetery is well and lovingly tended. The big stone monument in front of the cemetery is in desperate need of a cleaning as it was difficult to make out the name. In this stone edifice are visitor books you can open and sign.
I find the headstones in the British Cemeteries to be especially poignant, often with messages from loved ones cut into the bottom of the stones. Each has a unit badge unless it is an "Unknown" soldier. There are so many badges and different units and each is unique and beautiful.
We are Americans, but we always stop and pay our respects not only to Americans but to our allies who gave their lives in both world wars. Cabernet Rouge is a special place.

There's no standard layout for the many Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries, but this one is unusual in being laid out in the semi circular shape of a Roman or Greek amphitheatre. It contains the graves of 7,650 WW1 casualties, of whom almost 60% are unidentified. It's an intensely moving place to visit, its serenity is in stark contrast to the violent deaths suffered by these young men. It's also notable because the Canadian unknown soldier was originally buried here. A head stone commemorates his original burial place.

This is so serene and beautiful, a fitting place and memorial to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.
We drove past on our way to lunch and do glad we came back.
My picture does not do it justice, if nearby don’t drive past, stop and reflect.

So many young people killed in the First World War. This is such a well kept and managed place that one can sit and spent time to hope that this kind of slaughter never happens again. I should be a reminder to everyone in the world of the pointlessness of war of any kind. We should stop the killing.

Such an incredibly beautiful place, so well maintained for all our young men who put themselves in harm's way for us and never came home to enjoy the peace they created with their sacrifice.
I don't walk cemeteries but this one, arranged in a semi-circle focused on the central tomb stone, is awe inspiring. So many of the stones say only "Known Unto God" for those brave men with no known rank or insignia. I cried.
I have to agree with another reviewer below: Every family passing must stop and remember the sacrifices that were made for us.

We visited the Cimetiere du Cararet Rouge, named after a former tavern that was nearby. It is a very peaceful, well cared for place that was the former resting place of Canada's Unknown Soldier, now buried at the national war memorial in Ottawa. The number of graves in this and surrounding cemeteries, including those of the Germans, serve as a reminder of the carnage of that war that should never be repeated.

This was one of several that I visited, and I must admit I was a little puzzled by the name, until I got there and saw the photo of the old Bar that used to be there long ago. I was with several friends, two of whom had a special interest in this particular Military Cemetery. Like all the others I visited, it is extremely well cared for.
