Rudyard Kipling wrote this account of the work of the Imperial War Graves Commission at the Commission's request. Originally an article was published in The Times in 1919 by Rudyard Kipling carrying the Commission's proposal to a broader audience and describing what the graves would look like. The article titled War Graves: Work of Imperial Commission: Mr. Kipling's Survey was quickly republished as an illustrated leaflet, Graves of the Fallen. It was planned to reduce the impact of Kenyon's report as it included illustrations of cemeteries with grown trees and shrubs, contrasting the bleak landscapes depicted in published battlefield photos. There was an instantaneous public uproar following the publication of the reports, specifically about the decision not to repatriate the bodies of the dead. The Imperial War Graves Commission (IWGC) was the British institution that dealt with burying and honoring First World War dead and missing fighters. Today it is responsible for graveyards and memorials of both World Wars in more than 150 countries. Its name was changed to the 'Commonwealth War Graves Commission' in 1960.

Excerpt from The Martial Graves of Our Fallen Heroes in Santiago De Cuba Every sentiment of patriotism. Justice and generosity cried out against such a result. Our hearts were burdened with care for the living. The sick and wounded demanded first thought. But in our great, wealthy and prosperous republic it seemed to the writer that there was enough and more than enough ol influence. Activity and money to create and preserve inviolate a soldiers' cemetery for the fallen heroes of the rmv of Santiago, if it were not found practicable to remove the remains to their native land. It was his thought that plots of the battlefield should at once be prepared on which every grave should be duly located; and that proper markers should be sent out on which the names of the fallen should be plainly painted. With a view to maintaining the identity until more substantial head boards could be erected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ivan Bawtree has left behind a vast array of archives that tell the story of his work as a photographer with the Graves Registration Units on the Western Front from 1915 to 1919. He traveled to numerous parts of Northern France and Flanders most notably the Ypres Salient to photograph and record graves of fallen soldiers on behalf of grieving relatives. He was one of only three professional photographers assigned to this task, hired by the newly formed Graves Registration Commission in 1915.Through his pencil and lens we gain detailed insight not just into the work he did and the men he worked with, but also aspects of the military zones, the perils of proximity to the Front Line, the devastation of war, and the birth and early work of the Imperial War Graves Commission.Today, the war cemeteries that Ivan saw spring up across battle-scarred landscapes and provide the most widespread and enduring reminder of the scale of loss and sacrifice of the Great War.

Like Ypres, Arras was a front line town throughout the Great War. From March 1916 it became home to the British Army and it remained so until the Advance to Victory was well under way. In 1917 the Battle of Arras came and went. It occupied barely half a season, but was then largely forgotten; the periods before and after it have been virtually ignored, and yet the Arras sector was always important and holding it was never easy or without incident; death, of course, was never far away. The area around Arras is as rich in Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries as anywhere else on the Western Front, including the Somme and Ypres, and yet these quiet redoubts with their headstones proudly on parade still remain largely unvisited. This book is the story of the men who fell and who are now buried in those cemeteries; and the telling of their story is the telling of what it was like to be a soldier on the Western Front. 'Arras-North' is the first of three books by the same author. This volume contains in depth coverage of almost sixty Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries and is a veritable 'Who's Who' of officers and other ranks who fell on this part of the Western Front. It provides comprehensive details of gallantry awards and citations and describes many minor operations, raids and other actions, as well as the events that took place in April and May 1917. It is the story of warfare on the Western Front as illustrated through the lives of those who fought and died on the battlefields of Arras.There are many unsung heroes and personal tragedies, including a young man who went out into no man's land to rescue his brother, an uncle and nephew killed by the same shell, a suicide in the trenches and a young soldier killed by a random shell whilst celebrating his birthday with his comrades. There is an unexpected connection to Ulster dating back to the days of Oliver Cromwell and William of Orange, a link to Sinn Fein and an assassination, a descendant of Sir Isaac Newton, as well as a conjuror, a friend of P.G. Wodehouse, a young officer said to have been 'thrilled' to lead his platoon into the trenches for the first time, only to be killed three hours later, and a man whose headstone still awaits the addition of his Military Medal after almost a century, despite having been involved in one of the most daring rescues of the war. This is a superb reference guide for anyone visiting Arras and its battlefields.
