How it works…

The Commonwealth War Graves commission has launched a project to mark the 141 days of the Somme centenary. The Living Memory Project encourages community groups to discover, explore and remember those that died during the First World War.

There are some 300,000 war graves in more than 12,000 locations across the UK, and it is said that no-one is more than 3 miles from their nearest CWGC war graves. Could your group find your local war graves and organise a visit, find out more about the war graves and those marked by the graves.
