CWGC

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) honours the 1.7 million men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the First and Second World Wars, and ensures they will never be forgotten.

I am remembering 76 known relations as of 10 Mar 2019 who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
