A series of post-WWII publications describing all the Commonwealth War Graves cemeteries around the world with histories and photographs. The intention was to give those relatives who were unable to travel to and visit the cemetery where their relative was buried an opportunity to at least know something of the cemetery.
I've no idea when the series ceased publication. My copies were bought at an antiques market for a total of only £5; antiquarian booksellers online are asking for around £12 each.
Volume 2 pt 1(1955) - 'And blossom in their dust'; France
Volume 2 pt 3(1956) - Mediterranean battleground; France and Italy
Volume 3 pt 1(1957) - Belgium, France and England
Volume 3 pt 2(1957) - France, Libya, Tunisia and Sicily
Volume 3 pt 3(1958) - War in the East; Hong Kong, Thailand, India, Pakistan and Malaya
Volume 4 pt 1(1958) - The eternal comradeship; England and Norway
Volume 4 pt 2(1959) - 'They took the wings of the morning'; air forces cemeteries
Volume 4 pt 3(1960) - The advance to the Rhine and beyond
Volume 5 pt 1(1961) - Greece and Italy
Volume 5 pt 2(1964) - Monument of mercy; France
Volume 6 pt 1(1965) - Gallipoli and Greece
Volume 6 pt 2(1968) - South-East Asia, the Pacific Islands, Australia and Japan
