Established by Royal Charter in 1917, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission pays tribute to the 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two world wars. Since its inception, the Commission has constructed 2,500 war cemeteries and plots, erecting headstones over graves and inscribing the names of the dead on permanent memorials. This audio tour will guide you through the CWGC memorial in Runnymede, UK, blending archive audio with contemporary information and is an excellent introduction to both the history of the CWGC and the site itself.
