Commonwealth War Graves - Update
By: Ryan Taylor,
Biography and Archived Articles
Bill Tufts e-mailed a footnote for last issue's article in Ryan Taylor's Routes To Roots column. Bill shares the address of The Commonwealth War Graves Commision and his experiences.
Address: Veteran Affairs Canada, Commonwealth War Graves
Commission, Suite 1707, 66 Slater St., Ottawa, ON. K1A 0P4
1-(613)-992-3224
Bill writes "I have dealt with this office and the staff is very receptive to inquiries.
When inquiring, please give as much detail as possible such as residence,
parents, birthdate, where enlisted, regiment, etc. (if known). Giving them
his military service number and rank is ideal. This information helps them
to select the correct "John Smith" (or whoever).
The information received from them may vary. At times, it gives merely
the cemetery, row and site number. Sometimes it shows name and
residence of parents and next of kin (usually parents or wife).
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission also has records of ex-
servicemen whose families requested assistance when burying veterans,
even long after their service had ended. It supplies the same type of
grey tombstones that was used for those KIA "(Killed In Action).
