Well Commonwealth War Graves’s first ever #WarGravesWeek is done & dusted. A lot of hard work to get it off the ground & it’s been really pleasing to see how all elements have been so well engaged with. On the digital side we tried a new way of broadcasting & we hope you enjoyed what we delivered.
#Gallipoli #Çanakkale #CWGC #WarGravesWeek Another offering for War Graves Week from the peninsula. Shrapnel Valley Cemetery at Anzac under construction in 1922 and today.
Did you know that there are 393 Commonwealth burials at Karori Cemetery related to WW1 (1914-1918) and WW2 (1939-1945)?
These graves are overseen by Commonwealth War Graves who maintain cemeteries at 23,000 locations all over the world. In NZ Ministry for Culture and Heritage acts on behalf of Commonwealth War Graves

Good morning from Lincoln! We’re here in the city to share more about the work of Commonwealth War Graves this #WarGravesWeek . If you’re in the area, why not pop to our stand and say hello!
For #WarGravesWeek I'd like you to remember my great uncle, Herbert Crook, RAMC. He was just a kid, has no known grave, but is remembered by Commonwealth War Graves on the Basra Memorial, Iraq. 1/2.
This week I continued preparing our tours for #WarGravesWeek and visited Commonwealth War Graves St Pol British Cemetery. Many thanks to my colleague Yohann for the tour, for sharing his passion and for the Hort tips! They are always welcome!
