The Graves of the Fallen

"The Graves of the Fallen" by Rudyard Kipling is a story about remembering the brave soldiers who died in World War I. The book tells about the important job of the Imperial War Graves Commission, who worked to keep the memories of these soldiers alive by building and taking care of war cemeteries and memorials. It shows how everyone who fought, no matter their rank, was treated with the same respect and honor. The book explains the ideas behind how the cemeteries were made, like using headstones and memorials that showed what the soldiers believed in and who they were, and how important it was to keep the graves where the soldiers had fallen instead of sending them home. It talks about what the Commission did, how they paid for things, and the designs they had for the memorials, and also how they helped the families of the soldiers find peace. It's a touching way to remember the courage of the soldiers and make sure their stories are never forgotten.
