Commonwealth War Graves Commission

The Commission's records commemorate over 1.7 million service men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died during the two world wars.
As we have so many records, we are regularly asked why:
  • we provide only initials and not Christian names
  • we don't have any information about next of kin in our records
To help explain this further, our Archives Supervisor has written a short report on
How our records were compiled following the First World War.
