For the Fallen - Peter Francis
A Century of Remembrance Since the Great War
KORTE INHOUD
A photographic tribute to the fallen of World War I through their final resting places Before World War I, soldiers who died while serving in the army of the British Empire could not expect a lasting or fitting memorial, so it was often their fate to be forgotten, their individuality lost in mass graves that largely went unmarked and unnoticed. World War I was to change that, because for the first time a remarkable organization--the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC)--was created to ensure the dead would never be forgotten. In For the Fallen, stunning images illustrate the work the CWGC does around the world, and captions provide insight into the history of this unique organization, the character of the cemeteries and memorials it built after World War I, and some of those who care for them. The book has been beautifully designed as a special centenary publication to honor those who died and provide a fitting tribute to the CWGC's work.
