In Leeds for #ArmedForcesDay with the Commonwealth War Graves stand. Do call in to Briggate to see us!







Looking forward to this weekend when I’ll be at Eden Camp with the Commonwealth War Graves stand.

We're at Eden Camp Modern History Museum for the #WW1 weekend. There's sun for those who like it and lots of shade for those who don't! Do come and see us at the Commonwealth War Graves stand.



Honoured to meet Kevin today at Eden Camp Modern History Museum. He has played his pipes at over 7000 individual Commonwealth War Graves graves in County Durham (old boundaries). A feat which took over 7 years! Thank you for your Remembrance, Kevin!


It was a pleasure to meet Sam Carling MP🌹 at All Saints, Wittering and talk to him about the Commonwealth War Graves and tell the stories of some of our casualties buried there. Thanks to Fr Gary and the Churchwardens for opening the church and the delicious cake!


Rescue operations are underway in Dobropillia, Donetsk Region, after a Russian bomb hit a local store. The number of victims is not yet confirmed. This is horrendous, dumb Russian terror. Simply an attempt to kill as many as possible. Russia is all about vile strikes like this.

Fabulous to visit Cambridge City Cemetery last week, where a local 6th former, gave me a super tour of some of the Commonwealth War Graves casualties he's researched. If you would like to share research on casualties, add them to our story portal, For Evermore: cwgc.org/stories/home/




It was a pleasure to meet Mohammad Yasin MP last week at Bedford Cemetery and talk to him about the work of the Commonwealth War Graves and the casualties we commemorate there. These included local man Private Alder who was wounded at Loos and later killed in an air raid at Felixstowe in July 1917.


How fabulous is this! Very excited! Great atmosphere - can’t wait for the show! Bradford 2025


Well it was absolutely fabulous! From the moment we got on the steam train in Keighley we were captivated - acting, setting, production all out of this world! If you want to go you’d better book quickly or you’ll miss it! Great work Bradford 2025!
