At the end of World War II, a young British architect was appointed to design a series of cemeteries and memorials across Asia for the war dead. Colin St Clair Oakes, who had fought in the brutal Burma campaign, was the only veteran of the recent war among the five principal architects of the Imperial War Graves Commission. Completed in 1957, Kranji War Cemetery and Memorial in Singapore is a masterwork of Modernist architecture - a culmination of Oakes' experiences in war and his evolution as an architect. Richly illustrated with photographs, maps and architectural plans, and drawing on extensive archival research and interviews in Europe, Australia and Asia, this is a riveting account of a world shattered by war, and man's heroic efforts to recover, remember and rebuild.

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.

Shortlisted for the Samuel Johnson prize for non-fiction; the extraordinary and forgotten story behind the building of the First World War cemeteries, due to the efforts of one remarkable and visionary man, Fabian Ware. Before WWI, little provision was made for the burial of the war dead. Soldiers were often unceremoniously dumped in a mass grave; officers shipped home for burial. The great cemeteries of WWI came about as a result of the efforts of one inspired visionary. In 1914, Fabian Ware joined the Red Cross, working on the frontline in France. Horrified by the hasty burials, he recorded the identity and position of the graves. His work was officially recognised, with a Graves Registration Commission being set up. As reports of their work became public, the Commission was flooded with letters from grieving relatives around the world. Critically acclaimed author David Crane gives a profoundly moving account of the creation of the great citadels to the dead, which involved leading figures of the day, including Rudyard Kipling. It is the story of cynical politicking, as governments sought to justify the sacrifice, as well as the grief of nations, following the 'war to end all wars'.

Final Resting Places brings together some of the most important and innovative scholars of the Civil War era to reflect on what death and memorialization meant to the Civil War generation—and how those meanings still influence Americans today. In each essay, a noted historian explores a different type of gravesite—including large marble temples, unmarked graves beneath the waves, makeshift markers on battlefields, mass graves on hillsides, neat rows of military headstones, university graveyards, tombs without bodies, and small family plots. Each burial place tells a unique story of how someone lived and died; how they were mourned and remembered. Together, they help us reckon with the most tragic period of American history.
