Commonwealth War Graves Commission
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is an organization established in 1917 to commemorate the men and women of the Commonwealth who died in the two World Wars. It is responsible for maintaining cemeteries and memorials in over 150 countries, ensuring that the sacrifices of these individuals are honored and remembered.
The CWGC provides a dignified resting place for the fallen, with uniform headstones and memorials that reflect the values of respect and remembrance. It also offers resources for families and researchers, including online databases to help locate graves and learn more about those who served, such as soldiers from the British Army and Royal Navy.
