Welcome to the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission
The "Debt of Honour Register"
is the Commission's database listing the 1.7 million men and women of the
Commonwealth forces who died during the two world wars and the 23,000
cemeteries, memorials and other locations world-wide where they are
commemorated. The register can also be searched for details of the 67,000
Commonwealth civilians who died as a result of enemy action in the Second World
War.
STOP PRESS: NEW LOOK WEBSITE ON THE WAY
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission will launch a new look website on Tuesday 31 January. As such, all services will be temporarily unavailable while the new website is transferred to our live server.
The new website has been designed to make the information on our site as current and accessible as possible, and to make the "surfing" experience and easy and pleasurable one. The functionality of the Debt of Honour Register will not change.
The Commission would like to thank all those members of the public who took time to complete our online questionnaire last year. Many of your views have been incorporated into the new design.

"We can truly say that the whole circuit of the earth is girdled
with the graves of our dead... and, in the course of my pilgrimage, I have many
times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon
earth through the years to come, than this massed multitude of silent witnesses
to the desolation of war."
King George V, Flanders, 1922
