1065 Tell me about: Cwlth War Graves

"Tell me about: preserving the legacy of sacrifice through Commonwealth War Graves"

Did your ancestors serve—and perhaps make the ultimate sacrifice—during the great conflicts of the 20th century? Have you ever paused to wonder who cares for the thousands of Commonwealth war graves scattered across the world, and how their stories are preserved?

Join us for a meaningful and thought-provoking evening with Simon from the Office of Australian War Graves, as he guides us through the work behind these enduring places of remembrance.

Discover how the Commonwealth War Graves Commission was established, the vital role it has played over the past century, and how it continues to honour those who died in service or as a result of war.

Simon will also tell us about the Commission’s online resources—an invaluable tool for family historians seeking to deepen their understanding of an ancestor’s wartime experience and ensure their story is never forgotten.

This is more than a presentation—it is an opportunity to reflect, remember, and connect with the personal histories behind global events.

This presentation is suitable for family historians of all experience levels.

Registration via the FHACT website is essential. A small registration fee applies.  After purchasing a ticket, you will receive an email with the Zoom link.
