Caterpillar Valley New Zealand Memorial
Within the cemetery, there is a Memorial to the Missing from New Zealand, recording the names of 1205 New Zealand soldiers who were killed during the Battle of the Somme and have no known final resting place. The Battle of the Somme was New Zealand's first major engagement on the Western Front. This is one of seven memorials in France and Belgium to New Zealand soldiers who died on the Western Front and whose graves are not known. No less than eight soldiers commemorated on the memorial have had their remains identified since the memorial was raised. This includes Bobby Black. ==References==
