As the sun sets on my Internship with the @CWGC I would just like to thank everyone who has made these last few months so special. I have had so many unforgettable experiences and I will continue to help the CWGC where ever possible. #CWGFInterns #Inperpetuity

Today was the end of a very special chapter in the history of the Commission.
Thank you Christine for your 42 years of extremely committed service. I feel most grateful to have shared 10 of them. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement! ❤ – at Ypres, Belgium
Very thankful to be able to give a reading @magdalenoxford for the remembrance service this morning. #WeWillRememberThem

Really great to catch up tonight with some of the former CWGC and CWGF Interns who are part of the alumni group we launched earlier this year. #CWGCinterns #CWGFinterns
An amazing tour around @CWGC Stonefall Cemetery this morning by the brilliant @ElizbethjmSmith. Some harrowing but well researched personal stories from across the site and brilliant to point out the graves of some Soviet troops as well as an interesting Muslim grave.
Whilst in Rome I decided to visit the nearest @CWGC commemoration which turned out to be that of Marie Dussio here at the beautiful Verano Communal Cemetery. She is commemorated in her family plot after serving with the Royal Canadian Medical Corps in the Second World War.

On International Day of Charity did you know that we have our own charity - the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation. The #CWGF aims to educate & engage people, especially the young, with our work. Find out how you can support the Foundation, and join, here: ow.ly/z4xa50BgK5B
In the run up to #VEDay I would like to mention the most powerful experience I have ever had. I was lucky enough to represent the @CWGC at Arnhem 75 and whilst there I chatted to some of the veterans about their experiences. Something I will never forget. #ShareYourTribute

The @CWGC is pleased to launch a digital campaign calling on the public to take part in a virtual act of remembrance through giving you the chance to pay tribute to those who served in the World Wars. Learn more, here: ow.ly/7JYU50zvLtV #ShareYourTribute #WW1 #WW2
It's brilliant to see that even here in Buenos Aires the men and woman who died in the first and second world wars are cared for by the @CWGC #tothefourcorners

We were pleased to welcome over 80 prospective CWGF Interns to our open day in Maidenhead today as we look to select 36 candidates for the 2020 programme. Thanks also to the six former interns who attended the day and sharing their experiences of the internship. #CWGFinterns

It has been a true honour to remember every Old Bradfordian who gave their life in WW1 #wewillrememberthem “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” #ww1centenary #HocAge – at Drighlington, England

This festive season the @CWGC is encouraging families to use the time of coming together to reconnect with their family’s past. You can find anyone who you think we commemorate by visiting our website, and searching, here: ow.ly/xM4v50xHogA #WeAreCWGC #OurWorkContinues

100 years ago the family of Private Evan Williams kept his memory alive through their choice of personal inscription. Today the Commonwealth War Graves Foundation continues to tell his story. Help us do this by joining the Foundation, here: ow.ly/9l8s50vKEyW #CWGF

Many thanks to Old Bradfordian @CoganMatthew for his talk to @BradfordGrammar Historical Society about his experiences as a @CWGC intern- very informative and inspiring #cwgc – at Bradford, England

The CWGF Interns who have been based at Tyne Cot Cemetery for the last four months have now returned home. Before leaving though they recorded this goodbye video as they looked back on their time in the role. #CWGFinterns
I may have finished my time as a #CWGFIntern but that didn't stop me from having a final trip to see @CWGC Tower Hill Memorial before I head home. #OurWorkContinues
