Photography by Brian Harris. Foreword by Ian Hislop. The History of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission honours the 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two world wars.
Published to conincide with the ninetieth anniversay of the Commission, Remembered highlights the importance of the Commission's work not only in commemorating the dead, but also in preserving in perpetuity some of the most significant heritage sites of the twentieth century.
Drawing on both archival material and personal reminiscences and anecdotes, Julie Summers traces the history of this remarkable organisation and explores the outstanding contributions made to the Commission's work.
Specially commissioned images by award-winning photographer Brian Harris provide a stunning, frequently moving tribute to those servicemen and women commemorated in the Commission's cemeteries and on its memorials around the world.
The first major illustrated history of its kind for forty years, this beautifully produced book serves to remind us of the sacrifice made by so many and of the enduring relevance of the Commission's work in preserving their memory.
