THE ULSTER TOWER

Many of the Ulster dead are buried at the edge of Thiepval Wood in the Connaught Cemetery. A short distance away to the north, across the sunken road and up the hill are Mill Road Cemetery, and the 36th (Ulster) Division's Memorial. This is the Ulster Tower, built as an almost exact replica of Helen's Tower in Clandeboye Estate near Bangor in County Down where many of the soldiers of the Ulster Division trained. The Ulster Tower and Mill Road Cemetery are very near to the site of the Schwaben Redoubt, and both command a panoramic view of the surrounding countryside and former battlefield. A few hundred yards to the south-east, and visible for miles around, is Sir Edwin Lutyens' imposing Memorial to the Missing, standing now on the site of the ruined Thiepval Chateau. It is built from bricks which have stone facing on which are inscribed the names of over 73,000 men who died on the Somme in 1916 and 1917 and who have no known graves.
