Anyone who has visited a Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery will know the profound sense of reverence that such a visit can inspire. The CWGC manages 23,000 war memorials and cemeteries globally, commemorating 1.7 million Commonwealth casualties. This includes the creation of distinctive Portland stone headstones, the preservation of historical monuments, and the meticulous horticultural work to maintain the grounds.

During this engaging talk, Pat will delve into the history of the CWGC and provide insight into the work volunteers like her do to ensure the ongoing care and upkeep of these hallowed sites.
