Join us for War Graves Week 2022

Our second ever War Graves Week starts on Saturday 21st May, with more events in more countries.

War Graves Week is our annual awareness week that aims to encourage communities to come together and discover the world war heritage on their doorstep.

Many of the men and women who fought and died in the two world wars came from, and are today commemorated in, your local community – lying in cemeteries or named on memorials that were built, and are maintained to this day, by the CWGC – and we want you to learn more about them this War Graves Week.

Marking War Graves Week can be as simple as visiting your local cemetery and memorial. With over 1.7 million casualties commemorated at 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries around the world, including over 300,000 commemorated across the UK, there is more than likely a Commonwealth war grave on your doorstep.

War Graves Week runs form the 21st - 28th May.
