Remembering the Fallen of the First World War takes a fascinating
and detailed look at how servicemen killed during the First World
War were commemorated. Beginning during the war itself, the book
investigates the options available at the time - repatriation and
normal burial were intially considered, but the sheer number of the
dead precluded this, so cemeteries close the battlefields became
the only realistic option. The book chronicles the work of Sir
Fabian Ware and the Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves
Commission in setting up permanent and beautifully maintained
cemeteries after the war as well as local war memorials, plaques in
churches, books of remembrance and so forth. The book also includes
poetry written and artwork created to honour the fallen, and offers
advice on how young readers can find their ancestors' war graves. A
must have book on World War One for ages 11 and up.
