A Our terms of reference limit us to recording memorials in the British Isles and whilst we have photographs of some overseas memorials we have little or no background information. Some private memorials from the First World War have been researched by the Western Front Association, who may be able to provide further details.

Official 'Memorials to the Missing' on the battlefields are the responsibility of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC). They can provide information about their history and how to reach them. For further information about the CWGC and access to their 'Debt of Honour' database, which gives details of burial or commemoration sites for all British and Commonwealth casualties from the two World Wars, see their web site at www.cwgc.org

We have recently found that projects similar to ours are being established overseas. Please go to our Links page to find out where they are.
