We've added a trio of Commonwealth war grave records to our collection this week, with additions from Germany, Greece and Cyprus.

Our newest records offer an important insight into the sacrifices made by military ancestors during the Second World War, featuring both images and transcriptions for you to explore. We've also added six new titles to the newspaper archive, with over 55,000 new pages to explore.

Germany, Commonwealth War Graves and Monumental Inscriptions

If your ancestor died in Germany during the Second World War, their grave or memorial may be featured within these 2,474 images and transcriptions.

Cyprus, Monumental Inscriptions

The 2,178 records in this new collection reveal Second World War war heroes who are commemorated in Cyprus.
