"From Your Soldier Boy".



This beautiful card was sent home from The Battlefield
by First World War Soldier, Jim, more than 100 years ago.


Jim is an example of one of the millions of men and women whose life was impacted by The Great War, and whose story we want to ensure is never forgotten.

The Commonwealth War Graves Foundation (CWGF) is a Charitable Foundation, that highlights the work of The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), by telling the stories of the 1.7 million people they commemorate.


In 2018, as we mark The Centennial Anniversary of the end of The First World War, The Foundation will work to explore and share the stories of the men and women who fought and died during the two World Wars.

It will also aim to engage young people, and the wider community around the U.K., in the story of our common sacrifice and shared history.

You can help The Foundation keep their stories alive by becoming a Supporter.

Your support will enable The CWGF to fund education and activities which will capture the public imagination, and highlight the work of The CWGC.

So together we keep their stories alive.
