The Debt Of Honour Register Commonwealth War Graves Commission |
|
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) was established by Royal Charter in 1917 as the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC), and pays tribute to the 1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces who died in the two World Wars. It is a non-profit-making organisation founded by Sir Fabian Ware.
The CWGC's principles are:
Since its inception, the Commission has constructed 2,500 war cemeteries and plots, erecting headstones over graves and, in instances where the remains are missing, inscribing the names of the dead on permanent memorials. Over one million casualties are now commemorated at military and civil sites in some 150 countries.
Together with the tasks of structural and horticultural maintenance, the CWGC is charged with keeping records of the 1.75 million Commonwealth war dead. At each cemetery and memorial you will find a register showing the service details and, in some cases, family details, of the men and women buried or commemorated there. Much of the Commission’s day-to-day work is concerned with maintaining the integrity of the casualty database, the electronic version of the records, which can be accessed via the Debt of Honour Register (DoHR).
It should be noted that in December 2020, the Commission reviewed their policy on amendments to the Casualty Database. One of the outcomes of the review was that they would no longer add awards to the database where there is no entitlement to post-nominal letters. Therefore the recording of "Mentioned in Despatches", for instance, would no longer be carried out. Included in the list below are names of officers awarded "Mentioned in Despatches" which will not be recorded in the CWGC Casualty Database.
Some apparent inaccuracies in the records of Officers of the South Wales Borders have been found in the DoHR. The Webmaster will investigate and report these errors to the CWGC as the website is progressed.
Below is a brief summary of apparent inaccuracies discovered so far in the records held by the CWGC and action taken or planned to take. |
