The thought of not being able to visit the grave of a family member who fell in the First World War can be very difficult for many people. Distance, financial constraints and travel restrictions can make it impossible to visit a loved one’s grave.
That’s why it can be comforting to know that our service is available to visit the grave on your behalf. This can be very useful for people who are unable to travel, but still wish to honor the memory of their loved one who fell during the war.
By providing information about your loved one, such as where he or she is buried, we can then visit the grave in your name, and place flowers, a flag or text, and take photographs for you to have as a memento.
This can be a moving way to connect with your family history, and to perpetuate the memory of those who gave their lives for their country.
The First World War left behind a large number of graves in northern France, which was one of the main fronts of the war. The most famous battles took place in the Somme and Artois, where hundreds of thousands of soldiers lost their lives.
In the aftermath of the war, military cemeteries were created to honor the fallen. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) was founded in 1917 to undertake the construction and maintenance of British and Commonwealth war cemeteries.
British war cemeteries in northern France are remarkable for their order and cleanliness. The graves are arranged in neat rows, often marked by stone crosses or marble steles bearing the soldiers’ name, rank, date of death and age. In some cases, words are engraved on the headstones.
First World War graves in northern France are a poignant reminder of the sacrifices soldiers made for their country. Well-maintained military cemeteries and impressive memorials testify to the eternal gratitude we owe to those who lost their lives in that war.
