The Commonwealth War Graves Commission – In Remembrance

As we approach Remembrance Sunday, Michelle Fowler, who is a Volunteer Speaker with CMGC  will provide us with an overview of the organisation from past to present with reference to the sites  cared for. It will outline the principles put in place when the CWGC was founded and how those are still upheld along with an overview of the sites cared for in the UK and around the world and what to look for when visiting them. A discussion of the challenges faced and the work conducted today will then follow, finally there will be a focus on local sites and a personal story of someone commemorated nearby.
