Description
1.7 million Commonwealth War dead are commemorated individually and by name in 153 countries worldwide.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission maintains these graves, memorials, and cemeteries, involving an international industry of administrators, quarrymen, stone cutters, and gardeners.
This book investigates the ongoing maintenance of these sites through archival material and photographs, highlighting the monumental scale of death and the world-wide reach of these commemorative sites. It explores contemporary ideas of permanence, process, and ongoing commemoration.
