Commonwealth War Graves Commission

An organisation of six member states whose function is to mark, record and maintain the graves and places of commemoration of the Commonwealth of Nations military service members who died in the two World Wars. It is also responsible for commemorating Commonwealth civilians who died as a result of enemy action during WW2.

Founded by Sir Fabian Ware in 1917 as the Imperial War Graves Commission, it changed to its present name in 1960.

If you are interested in who is eligible to be listed on a war memorial have a look at R. E. Booth - who died in a collision on the River Thames near Richmond.
