'Sacrifice and Remembrance'
The overarching title of the Sacrifice and Remembrance Project this presentation covers how the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) commemorates the fallen in two World Wars ; the scale of the sacrifice, the personalities involved, the founding principles of the CWGC, the outrage these principles caused amongst the general public, and stories behind some of the headstones. The presentation concludes with the building of the latest cemetery to be built since WW1, Fromelles Pheasant Wood in 2010 and how we now remember the fallen killed in recent conflicts.
