Commonwealth War Graves Commission

Established by Royal Charter in 1917, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission pays tribute to the 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two world wars. It is a non-profit-making organisation that was founded by Sir Fabian Ware.

The website http://www.cwgc.org/ allows for a search of military casualties in both World War I and II and commonwealth civilians killed during World War II.
