More than 100,000 British and Commonwealth war dead are buried in Great Britain, most of them in Commonwealth War Graves, each marked by the distinctive, simple and dignified headstone.

Many of these war graves are in well maintained cemeteries and churchyards, and are tended to a very high standard.

Kim Taylforth and John Oliver have created this website to bring these forgotten graves to the attention of as many people as possible. We hope that some of you will be inspired to go out and find an untended war grave and spend a few hours a year keeping it neat and dignified.

We adopted a neglected war grave at Old Warden in Bedfordshire. Read our story, and that of Private Joseph Potts by clicking on the links above, and consider what you can do to help us achieve our goal. Go out and find your local war graves, and please tell others about this website.
