More than 170,000 military personnel of the two World Wars are buried in the UK, with a large
number of graves in Kent. Every casualty has his or her own story, both in relation to the operations in
which they were involved and their social background. On each occasion the group will visit one or two
churchyards (and the churches if they are open) and cemeteries within a reasonable drive of Canterbury
to view the war graves at each site, and to research and discuss the backgrounds of some of those
buried.

There should be time to visit a pub for a snack at lunchtime for those who wish to do so. After
the first meeting each participant will be asked to research a small number of graves at sites earmarked
for future visits with a view to presenting their findings to the group at the appropriate time.
