COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION LAUNCHES UNIQUE ACT OF REMEMBRANCE FOR ARMISTICE DAY "LIKE NO OTHER"

For 11 November 2020, an Armistice Day like no other, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is urging the public to join with them in paying tribute to the 1.7 million Commonwealth war dead, through a unique act of remembrance.

Through a virtual experience on the CWGC website, making use of the Commission’s existing extensive records and search facility, the public will be able to name stars after one of the 1.7 million Commonwealth war dead in CWGC’s care. The CWGC is then encouraging everyone to take a moment at 7pm on 11 November 2020 to step outside their homes, look at the stars and remember the fallen.

Step outside and join us in looking up to the night sky as we ask you to name a star to help us ensure the names of the 1.7 million Commonwealth war dead under our care Shine On.
