Commonwealth War Graves Commission

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is an organization responsible for commemorating the military personnel of the Commonwealth who died in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts. Established in 1917, the CWGC ensures that these individuals are honored with headstones and memorials in cemeteries around the world. Its mission includes maintaining burial sites, recording names of the fallen, and promoting their memory. The CWGC seeks to provide a dignified resting place for those who served and ensure that their sacrifices are remembered by future generations.
