Registered Charity No: 1177492 (England & Wales).
Heritage is an important component of a nation’s identity, and can reflect the honour, pride and courage of its people. The remembrance of such people is never stronger than in the graveyards of the military. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) was founded in response to the First World War, but only takes care of graves that date from 1914 onwards. There is no one organisation that takes responsibility for graves and memorials before this date. As a result, many of the graves are in poor condition and are in need of repair.
The Remembrance Trust has an objective to find and, where possible, restore these monuments and graves of military graves, cemeteries and memorials of British and Commonwealth members of the Armed Forces who died before 1914 anywhere in the world as well as to support the maintenance and upkeep of such sites.
If you know of a monument, memorial or cemetery that you believe we may be interested in and falls within our remit, please contact us. If you wish to make a donation to support our work, please send a cheque or a Charities Aid Foundation voucher to the above address, or contact us about leaving a legacy. We are also able to accept donations via PayPal.
