As Remembrance Day approaches, many Britons are preparing to honor and remember the fallen heroes of World Wars One and Two. The official Remembrance Sunday is on November 10 this year, with the Prime Minister, leading politicians, and members of the Royal Family set to gather at the Cenotaph in London to pay their respects.
For those who wish to personally pay tribute to their loved ones who served during these conflicts, the Daily Mirror has created interactive search tools that allow people to find the graves of soldiers who sacrificed their lives. The first Remembrance Day was held in 1919 to commemorate the end of World War One, and since then, it has expanded to include those who served in World War Two as well.
The interactive tool provided by the Daily Mirror enables users to search for the graves of fallen soldiers from both World Wars by entering their first name, surname, street, or town/city. This tool, which includes records from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, offers a comprehensive database of casualties from the First and Second World War.
As we approach Remembrance Day, it is essential to take the time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served in the armed forces. By using the interactive search tool, individuals can find and pay their respects to the fallen heroes who bravely fought for their country. Let us remember and honor their legacy this Remembrance Day.
