Off the shelf - delve into the CWGC archive

As part of “Explore your Archive week” the Commission is sharing treasures from its historic archives. The archives offer a rich historical narrative, spanning over 100 years. They tell us stories and bring alive the people, events and decisions that shaped the Commission’s early years.

The Commission’s archive contains a vast array of items, such as rare letters of correspondence from Playwright James Matthew Barrie and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, to Battlefield artefacts, such as pocket watches and cap badges.
