The collection is comprised of 16 printed volumes containing 106 registers and covering approximately 250 cemeteries. </p><p>The Commonwealth War Graves Commission was established in 1917 by Royal Charter to honor the men and women of the British Commonwealth who died in the World Wars. One of the things the Commission does to do this is construct cemeteries and erect grave headstones. There are currently over 2,000 Commission cemeteries in about 150 countries. The registers of the cemeteries represented in this database, therefore, only account for a small percentage of the total cemeteries in existence.

The memorial registers list the names of individuals with no known grave.</p><p>Some entries have even more detail. The particulars given in the Registers of the Graves have been compiled from information furnished by the Record Offices and the next-of-kin.
