Military Graves

2)Create Profile. Put as little information in as possible until saved.
3)Add Wikitree ID to grave photo and set as primary photo
4)Add 'Background 2-2.jpg' to profile
5)search for bio information on-
- Commonwealth War Graves Commission for WW1 & WW2- will usually give aged at death so can estimate year of birth, In what they served, and often parents and spouses names.
- Use free BMD sites for these sources if possible- if resorting to paid sites get the correct source information and not the web link
- Search Google etc. for their names as often there are websites dedicated to different military units.
6)Remember to cite the source
7)Add any other images you wish to e.g.
![]() |
