The Remembrance Trust : Tributes to Valour

Foreword by HRH The Princess Royal Preface by Algy Cluff - some corner of a foreign field - How a nation treats its dead fighting men is a telling barometer.How were soldiers viewed by society? Were lower ranks thought deserving of having honour bestowed on their graves?Was death in battle or in the course of duty worthy of remembrance?Did those who died far from the mother country warrant commemoration - and who at home would ever know?The graves of the majority of those who have died for their country since August 1914 are the responsibility of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.But what of those who fell in previous conflicts - in the Seven Years War, the Revolutionary and French Wars, and the various wars of empire?The Remembrance Trust, founded by Algy Cluff in 2018, has begun to address the issue of caring for early military memorials.
