The Commonwealth War Graves Commission - Who we are, how we started and our ongoing work By Denis Payne

Across Britain there are war graves and memorials at more than 12,000 locations. From towering and dramatic memorials which bear the names of tens of thousands of missing personnel, to small and intimate local churchyards where perhaps only one service person is commemorated.  We are offering you the opportunity to discover more about our work in your area and the connections your local community has to the men and women commemorated there.

Denis Payne well known in many from his long involvement in the Parish Council and other community groups. He's a member of the Village Society History Group, and has been working on the history and background of the six War Graves we have in the three village cemeteries. Starting from this, he's now a volunteer speaker on behalf of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission speaking to groups across the County about the work of the CWGC and its role in remembering those who died in the two World Wars
