The History of the War Graves Commission”by

Started during the early part of the First World War at the instigation of
Sir Fabian Ware, the Graves Registration Commission became the
Imperial War Graves Commission by Royal Charter in 1917.
Today as The Commonwealth War Graves Commission it cares for the graves and
memorials to British and Commonwealth war dead around the globe.
Geoff Longmore will tell us some of its history and how it has
evolved over ninety plus years.
(Geoff was scheduled to come to Bromsgrove in February 2009 but we were snowed out!)
