@thehistorymagpie: War Graves Week is almost here 🪖🪦Ad From 16–24 May, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission invites you to discover the stories behind the First and Second World Wars at cemeteries across the UK and around the world. Through free tours, events and talks, it’s a powerful way to learn more about those who served, at sites local to you. I recently visited a war graves cemetery in Manchester, and it was such an insightful and moving day out. Please enjoy some of the stories I’ve highlighted that touched me the most. Find out more via their website. #WarGravesWeek #WarGraves #BritishHistory #MilitaryHistory #WorldWarHistory
