Changes

If your ancestors died during the [[First World War|First]], or [[Second World War]] whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (e.g. Great Britain, for the six member counties Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but also including some other Commonwealth forces) , then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are scattered throughout Asia (and other parts of the world) and are beautifully maintained. The dates covered for commemoration on the CWGC website are 4 August 1914 to 31 August 1921 and 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1947. There were some additional military burials in cemeteries maintained by the CWGC, outside these dates, which are also maintained, but the names will not be included in the database on the website.<ref>charlie2 [http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?/topic/248694-a-cwgc-anomaly/&do=findComment&comment=2506866 A CWGC anomaly] ''Great War Forum'' 22 March 2017.
