The mission is to record all the commemorations placed by family, friends and IWGC \/ CWGC to those who died in service of their country, as well as civilian casualties killed by enemy action.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We currently have over 1,000’s entries on the database which can be searched by name, conflict or cemetery and each entry includes a photo of the memorial or commemoration. More will be added soon. The photos have been kindly provided by \u2018Boreenatra\u2019 and Geoff Gillon.<\/p>\n

We would especially like to hear from those who may have photos of the individuals commemorated in this project or additional information.<\/span><\/p>\n
