In Remembrance of British War Dead

This project exists to create a photo archive of the graves and memorials to British Servicemen who have fallen in service since the beginning of World War One to the present day.

The project moves forward through volunteers who photograph the headstones and memorials and through relatives of the Servicemen who contribute information to the site.

It seemed that within a few years, memories and records of the lives of our Armed Forces slip into obscurity. In certain areas, cemeteries have fallen into such a state of decay that it is sometimes difficult even to enter them safely.

I have never found the words to describe the profound sadness which accompanies the work of this Project. In gratitude and for such ausome sacrifice I have made it my mission to see their names are not forgotten - as best I can. Without the help of dedicated Volunteers the Project would not exist - please visit the "Helping Us" page to see their names.

Not a single day goes by that I do not find this project intensely moving. I hope that you find something similar here for yourself, and warmly encourage anyone to contribute to the site.
