An organisation dedicated to commemorating more than 1.7 million servicemen who died during the world wars will be the topic of the next talk hosted by the Friends of Horsham Museum & Art Gallery.
On Wednesday October 9 (2pm) Sarah Nathaniel will talk about the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC).
Sarah is the Public Engagement Co-ordinator for the CWGC in the South-East of England. This involves educating young and old about the ongoing work of the Commission in order to keep sharing the stories of those that are commemorated so they are not forgotten.
The CWGC is a global leader in commemoration. It was founded by Royal Charter in 1917 and works on behalf of the governments of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
The CWGC dedicated staff care for graves, cemeteries, and memorials at over 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories around the world.
The talk will be held in the Lounge of the Cornerstone Methodist Church, London Road, Horsham.
All are welcome and entrance is £5 on the door (cash only).
