The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is a non-profit organization focused on commemorating those who died in military service or as a result of conflict. Founded by Royal Charter in 1917, it operates on behalf of the governments of Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The commission maintains cemeteries, memorials, graves, landscapes, and records at about 23,000 locations in more than 150 countries and territories to preserve the memory of their sacrifices. Headquartered in Maidenhead, England, it is a sizeable global presence within the non-profit sector and is regarded as a global leader in commemoration. A recent development includes the launch of digital name panels for the Basra Memorial in Iraq, illustrating ongoing modernization of its memorials and records.
