Our next BMSGH Bromsgrove Branch meeting will be held on Tuesday 9th March 2010 at 7.45 p.m. "The History of the War Graves Commission" by Geoff Longmore Chairman of the Wolverhampton branch of the Western Front Association Started during the early part of the First World War at the instigation of Sir Fabian Ware, the Graves Registration Commission became the Imperial War Graves Commission by Royal Charter in 1917. Today as The Commonwealth War Graves Commission it cares for the graves and memorials to British and Commonwealth war dead around the globe. Geoff Longmore will tell us some of its history and how it has evolved over ninety plus years. (Geoff was scheduled to come to Bromsgrove in February 2009 but we were snowed out!) ******************************* This event will take place at Bromsgrove Methodist Centre, 19, Stratford Road, Bromsgrove, B60 1AS. -- Mike Yegwart Branch Chairman BromsgroveBMSGH The Family History Site for North Worcestershire http://www.bromsgrovebmsgh.co.uk/ ******************************** HANDS research site: http://yourhands.awardspace.com/
