The War Graves Photographic Project
The War Graves Photographic Project was originally established by a few individuals and is run by a small group of dedicated volunteers. The aim of the project is to create a photographic record of every British and Commonwealth war grave and memorial inscription from the First World War.
The project relies entirely on volunteers to take the photographs and estabish the photographic archive.
This is a huge task to be managed and undertaken on a voluntary basis by a small group of people. The project has been fully recognized by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission project and the two organizations now work together in close partnership.

You can search a database on the Project's website to find out if a photograph has been taken and archived for a specific casualty from the First World War buried or commemorated. Visit the War Graves Photographic Project database website:
