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

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

“I lost a couple of my mates at Arnhem. They were in the next trench. I was one of the lucky ones.” Geoff Roberts has returned to visit his friends almost every year since 1945, adding his thoughts to our #VoicesOfLiberation project: ow.ly/ScNO50wdy75 #WW2 #OurWorkContinues

Today’s personal story is told by #CWGFIntern Amy. She describes the heartbreaking story of father and son, Harry and Ronald Moorhouse who died on the same day while fighting here in Flanders during the Third Battle of Ypres. #Inperpetuity @CWGC

@JackEvason often moves people to tears when he reads out the last letter Albert James Ford wrote to his wife before he fell on the 26th of October 1917. It is very important to remember also the families that were left behind. #Inperpetuity #CWGFInterns @CWGC

Today the Tyne Cot #CWGFInterns visited Dunkirk. We had a look round the Musée Dunkerque 1940 where we met lovely Michel who works there, the @CWGC Dunkirk cemetery and memorial and walked along the beach.
