This Sunday marks one hundred years since World War One fighting stopped on land, air and sea, and in the run up to this monumental anniversary we're celebrating people from across the county who preserve the war's history.

Tragically, of the nearly ten million soldiers who were lost on the front lines during the war, only a relatively small proportion were given the proper war burial that they deserved.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission in Maidenhead are the organisation responsible for rectifying this and seeing that every British and Commonwealth soldier is properly commemorated.

Mel Donnelly, the Head of the Commission's Commemoration Team:

"So we make sure that we both care for their graves, and we commemorate them. So the first thing we need to establish where that person is buried.

"There are 1,700 casualties buried in Berkshire at 183 sites.

"We don't necessarily have to have a commissioned head stone, and that would be the choice of the families involved."
