Commonwealth War Graves
Maynamati War Cemetery is located in Bangladesh. Before the Second World War, Maynamati was a small hamlet, but during the conflict it developed into a major military camp with several hospitals and ordnance depots. The cemetery commemorates over 700 Commonwealth servicemen who died during the Second World War. Daily work at the site includes lawn mowing, hedge trimming, watering, pruning, cleaning headstones and ensuring that drainage systems and pathways remain in good condition, all in line with our global standards. Our fantastic colleagues use techniques suited to the local climate, such as soil enrichment, water-efficient irrigation and rapid vegetation control during the monsoon months. Sustainability remains central to the team’s work, with the use of natural fertilisers, the avoidance of chemical treatments, the preservation of biodiversity and environmentally responsible pest and water management systems. Water usage is monitored closely, particularly during dry months, to balance plant health with responsible resource use.

Commonwealth War Graves
Last year, our Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial in South Africa was opened. This memorial stands not just as a tribute to the past, but as a bridge to the present. By linking the devastating human losses of the First World War to the freedoms we enjoy today, we ensure that history remains a powerful tool for positive change. Thanks to our Foundation's support, we partnered with a local organisation to provide students with a programme that included immersive headset technology and music to step back in time. It connected the youth of today to the stories of the fallen. Learn more by watching our latest video: youtu.be/SW8frPPV7Ns

Commonwealth War Graves
One year ago today, HRH The Princess Royal inaugurated the Cape Town Labour Corps Memorial in the Company’s Garden. This memorial commemorates by name over 1700 South Africans who served for the military labour corps and died during the First World War. These men were previously unrecognised, with no known grave or commemoration. Completing this new memorial is a culmination of years of work, starting with the research that led to the identification of these casualties, through to the collaborative design and creation of our new memorial in Cape Town.
