Projects

The CWGC was formed over 100 years ago. Every day we work to commemorate the men and women of the Commonwealth who gave their lives and to ensure their sacrifice is not forgotten. Here is some of our latest work.

The CWGC Wall of Remembrance

Join us in an act of virtual remembrance and remember those Commonwealth men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during both world wars.
