All ready for the first tour at Stratford-upon-Avon Cemetery Commonwealth War Graves War Graves week #EOHO

A great turnout at Stratford-upon-Avon Cemetery for Commonwealth War Graves #WarGravesWeek event. Two very well attended tours and a short service of dedication for a new plaque, well done to the team!

A great get together for Commonwealth War Graves West 2 #EOHO volunteers at St Martin's Church, Hereford. Even the vicar joined our special talk by SAS veteran Joe who talked about the men he served alongside who now lie buried in the churchyard

Interesting to see that the main building at the PGL Schools & Groups activity centre where I’ve spent the weekend, was used as an auxiliary military hospital for officers during #WW1. In #WW2, it was used by troops of the 1st Airborne Divisional Signals before the Battle of Arnhem.

Honoured to lay a wreath on behalf of Commonwealth War Graves at Cardiff Western Cemetery. Even the rain stopped and the sun came out in time for most of the ceremony! #WW1 #WW2 #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget
