News from Ian Hartas at the Local BMD project - 

 

 For Evermore: Stories of the Fallen is a new online resource that will collect the stories of the war dead from both world wars commemorated by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

This is your opportunity to remember the stories that mean the most to you. Write about a relative, loved one or someone you have researched who is commemorated at one of the CWGC cemeteries and memorials around the world.
