Send us Fan MailIn this episode, our journey through the footsteps of the fallen examines the remarkable vision and perseverance of a 45-year-old Red Cross Ambulance driver by the name of Fabien Ware, whose dismay at the state of war graves, led him to become the founding father of what is now known as the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. We examine the creation of the organization, the challenges faced, and why the cemeteries of the Great War look the way they do, as well as reflecting on 30 years of visiting these "silent cities."
