History Society: Lest We Forget – Fabian Ware and the Imperial War Graves Commission.

November 21, 2024 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

TOPIC: The Imperial (now Commonwealth) War Graves Commission was the brainchild of Fabian Ware, whose own story and that of this most remarkable achievement are the bones of this talk. Together with some of the finest talents in the kingdom – Rudyard Kipling and Edwin Lutyens to name but two – he fashioned the greatest global memorial known to man.

SPEAKER: David Du Croz, Retired Head of History, Marlborough College; Authority on the First World War.
