Elaine, originally from Lancashire, but now resident in Edinburgh, was until recently the Manager of our own Biggar & Upperclyde Museum, but she has always had a great interest in World War 1, hence her recent change of job.

She has already had one opportunity to visit several sites in Belgium and Northern France and she will be telling us about the origins and inspiration behind the formation of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (originally the Imperial War Graves Commission) in May 1917 and its development since then.
