Description

Das Messines Ridge Memorial ist ein neuseeländisches Gedenkmonument auf dem britischen Friedhof Messines Ridge British Cemetery, der sich in der belgischen Gemeinde Mesen befindet.
Um das erhöhte Plateau, auf dem das Cross of Sacrifice steht, sind Tafeln angebracht mit den Namen der Regimente und der 828 Offiziere und Soldaten der New Zealand Expeditionary Force, die kein bekanntes Grab haben und in oder um Mesen im Jahr 1917 und 1918 fielen. Die meisten von ihnen fielen während der Zweiten Schlacht um Mesen. Das Denkmal wurde von dem englischen Architekten Charles Holden entworfen und ist eines der acht Denkmäler an der Westfront, die die vermissten Toten aus Neuseeland gedenken. Die anderen sind Buttes New British Cemetery Memorial, Polygon Wood in Zonnebeke, Caterpillar Valley Memorial in Longueval, Grevillers Memorial in Grévillers, Cite Bonjean Memorial in Armentiers, Tyne Cot Memorial in Zonnebeke, Arras Memorial in Arras und Marfaux Memorial in Marfaux.
