Our rituals of remembrance are woven from culture and belief, yet these are changing. As generations pass and families scatter geographically & emotionally, the old ways of tending graves and keeping memories alive begin to fade. The resting places of family often go untended, their locations sometimes forgotten—echoes of respect and love once expressed through gentle acts of care.
Honouring Our Fallen: Joining the “Eyes On, Hands On” Initiative
Veteran graves and memorials are more than just names engraved in stone — they are stories of bravery, sacrifice, and love for one’s country. Each headstone represents a life cut short and a family forever changed. Remembering and caring for these resting places is a way of keeping their legacy alive, ensuring that future generations understand the true cost of the freedoms we enjoy today.
We believe remembrance is an active duty. That’s why we’re proud to share that we are in the process of registering with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) as part of their “Eyes On, Hands On” initiative.
This inspiring program empowers local volunteers to locate, assess, and help care for the graves of fallen service members. By taking part, we’ll be contributing to the CWGC’s mission of preserving these sites of remembrance across the world. From gently cleaning headstones to reporting any signs of wear or damage, every small action helps ensure that these places of honour remain cared for and respected.
For us, this work goes beyond maintenance — it’s about connection. Each visit to a veteran’s grave is a moment to reflect, to remember, and to ensure that no one who served is ever forgotten.
If you share our passion for remembrance and would like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can keep the memory of our heroes alive — not just in history books.
