Thank you for doing that for these men. I always try and photograph any #CWGC gravestones at parish churches I visit and would be happy to share the images with relatives or descendants if I could find a way of identifying them. #31DaysOfGraves

The number of CWGC records with next of kin info depends on when the cemetery was completed. Tower Hill almost 100%, sailors have no graves to fix. By the time of Thiepval 1930s, it fell to ~50%. Letters sent during the preceding year were not all delivered; parents died or moved widows remarried.

I’m guessing no clues/details on CWGC about the mother on the young man’s grave? Or, who received his medals posthumously? I hate it when you’re researching and hit a wall.

A MAJOR problem here is that the IWGC "Final Verification Forms" were almost all sent to paper-saving recycing during WW2.
Who authorised this ? - Er, a chap called Fabian Ware😱 (cwgc archives).

When I was doing my internship at the Historial in France we visited the CWGC office. It was very interesting to see them in action.

Whatever the "reasons", the destruction of the Final Verification Forms was a (research) disaster. WW2 we were facing yet another German onslaught & Fabian Ware was probably being pragmatic, but the IWGC & subsequently cwgc were so disorganised archive-wise that ...

The uniformity of CWGC graves across rank, religion and social class is so important. Probably the first time in British history where everyone was equal (pretty much) and treated with common, understated, reverence.

A good example of the principle laid down by Fabian Ware's IWGC that a TOTALLY unidentified man (the 2nd on stone) would be commemorated as an "Unknown Soldier", not some arbitrarily guessed at nationality as cwgc introduced on replacements about 20 yrs ago (reversed, after much correspondence).

Miasto Nieuwpoort i Komisja Grobów Wojennych Wspólnoty Narodów (CWGC) odsłoniły przy pomniku Nieuport Memorial pamiątkową tablicę UNESCO. Ma ona podkreślać międzynarodową wartość i trwałe znaczenie tego brytyjskiego pomnika z czasów I wojny światowej - podaje dziennik Het Nieuwsblad. Monument upamiętnia 552 brytyjskich oficerów i żołnierzy, którzy zginęli podczas operacji aliantów na belgijskim wybrzeżu i nie mają znanego grobu.
