@CWGC An extraordinary amount of research goes into trying to identify these service men, sadly not always successful.
However they are buried with dignity and reverence and have a headstone. Our eternal gratitude to everyone involved.

A pleasure and an honour to celebrate volunteering for the @CWGC in #vounteersweek.
Thoroughly enjoy my roles and the contributions that I make, helping to keep alive the stories of those that fell in both World Wars forevermore.
