Description
The story of the World War One cemeteries is one of remarkable dedication and loss. In the aftermath of the Great War, Britain and its Empire faced a daunting task: how to bury the dead. This is the remarkable true story of how one man, Fabian Ware, an ambulance commander, came to establish the Commonwealth war cemeteries. Behind these famous monuments lies a deeply moving story of a generation coming to terms with grief on a colossal scale.
