Yes, it's a very good site, detailed information and tasteful too. I found it a couple of weeks ago and have printed off details of two relatives, one lost in WW1 and one in WW2. Nice to be able to print out a picture of graveyard/memorial. Mandy :)

If you put "WW1" into the thread-search function here, you'll find a number of threads with several useful links in this field. Christine

I have had the Commonwealth War Graves added to my favorites for sometime as it showed the burial sites of my grandfather's two brothers and his brother-in-law killed in WW1. I was also able to find where my Aunt's brother was buried during WW2. Note only that I was able to view a plan of the cemetery showing the actual burial site including photographs of the cemetery.

Thanks for this link. It is certainly interesting. I looked under the address you gave and it brought up another website so looked under Commonwealth War Graves Commission and the website address was cwgc.org/cwgcinternet

dont know whether anyone uses this site for looking up relatives who died during the first or second wars you can found out if they had medals and where they were buried dont need to know which branch of the service they served in you type in a surname and maybe an initial and up comes anyone with that surname and you can narrow it down if you know which war its www(cwgc.org.) or Commonwealth War Graves Comission
