TO THE ARMIES
OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE
WHO STOOD HERE
FROM 1914-1918
AND TO THOSE OF THEIR DEAD
WHO HAVE NO KNOWN GRAVE

A thoughtful reflection from our former Guide, Isa, who explores why visits to memorials and battlefields remain such a powerful way to connect young people with the history of conflict and remembrance.

Drawing on her experience at the Thiepval Memorial, Isa explains how places of commemoration help bring history to life and ensure the stories of the fallen continue to be shared.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning…

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

As we that are left grow old.

[Max Dutton @MaxDutton2]

They shall grow not old.

We were honoured to welcome South African President Cyril Ramaphosa to Delville Wood Cemetery in France during the commemorations marking the 110th anniversary of the Battle of Delville Wood.

They have passed like rain on the mountains, like a wind in the meadow.

Driving past Genoa, stopped just off the motorway to visit Staglieno Cemetery.

The most incredible @CWGC plots are nestled on terraces on the hills behind a 19th century cemetery. It has now made it into my top ten war graves sites.

First you have to make it up stairs..

Don't we scrub up well? Fabulous day collecting my OBE for services to global commemoration at St James's Palace. Thanks to my family for all your love and support. This recognition is dedicated to all my colleagues @CWGC and those we commemorate. #WeWillRememberThem

A landscape that will never forget.

A warm welcome from this little fella, think I'll call him Max (if you know you know), in the ⁦@CWGC⁩ visitor centre in Ieper. Do pop in if you're in town for a friendly chat and a little history of The Menin Gate.
