The Battle of Cambrai resulted in the death of around 9,000 Germans soldiers and more than 10,000 British ones, including Private E.G Rowan. A member of the Gordon Highlanders, as far as I can work out, he's buried in Louverval in northern France.

One of a series of World War I memorials carved into the red sandstone rocks on the banks of the River Ayr below the Ballochmyle Viaduct in Ayrshire. The Battle of Cambrai took place in northern France near the Belgium border between the 20th of November and the 7th of December 1917 and was the first to involve the large scale use of tanks.
