Over 14,000 Royal British Legion poppies have been placed beside the Commonwealth War Graves’s Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial this week to form a Flanders Field for #ArmisticeDay. Learn more about the memorial, here: ow.ly/Ogay50x5Dp0 #CWGCremembers #OurWorkContinues #RemembranceDay #CWGFinterns
Due to some technical issues, I will be posting the two remaining #CWGFInterns personal stories from Tyne Cot. Today Colette McCourt tells the heroic story of Father William Doyle. 'Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay his life down for his friends.' #Inperpetuity
It was an absolute honour to have attended the Remembrance ceremony under the Menin Gate this morning. Words really cannot describe this experience. #CWGCremembers #CWGFInterns Commonwealth War Graves
For our last personal story on #Armistice2019 #cwgfintern Lucy tells us about Captain William Miles Kington. This story is an incredible example of how our work still continues over 100 years later. #Inperpetuity #cwgcremembers Commonwealth War Graves
One of the most moving moments during the annual Last Post Ass. Ieper service on #ArmisticeDay Commonwealth War Graves’s Ypres (Menin Gate) Memorial is when thousands of poppies fall from the top of the Gate. Here we see the team responsible, Gerry, Mark and Hugh, in action. #WeAreCWGC #OurWorkContinues
Both happy & sad to share this last official photo of the #CWGFinterns before heading home. Taken at the Special Last Post Ass. Ieper Service at Commonwealth War Graves Ypres (#MeninGate) Memorial on #ArmisticeDay! Thank you for all your hard work, dedication & support the last months! #CWGCremembers
The CWGF Interns based at Tyne Cot Cemetery are today taking over the Commonwealth War Graves's Instagram channel and posting throughout the day on the stories section. Please do take a look at what a day in their life of an Intern is like by following here: ow.ly/ic7q30mlQRN #CWGFinterns

On 23 November 2019 a dedication service is being held at Dunblane Cathedral Churchyard in Scotland for Assistant Cook Grace Ann Stewart Sharp. We’re searching for anyone related to Grace so that they can attend the service. Please contact Patricia Keppie if you have any information.
1/2. Just home after a great afternoon with the amazing students & staff at Grove Academy @HistoryGrove Grove Academy CWGC Team. Colette McCourt gave a talk & shared her experiences as a Commonwealth War Graves #CWGF Intern. BZ Colette!
So good to catch up with Colette McCourt today! Her role as a Commonwealth War Graves intern was such a valuable one-those of you who do it this year will have an unforgettable experience. Pleased she will continue to volunteer with us in Scotland
Well done to the fantastic Grove Academy CWGC Team presenting to a meeting of the @TaysideWFA about all the Remembrance activities they have been involved in, including visiting and researching local Commonwealth War Graves graves. Thanks to @WFATayside for inviting me to talk later in the year
Good to get an overview from Colette McCourt , speaking at @WFATayside, of her internship with Commonwealth War Graves, members were fascinated with the personal stories
