There are 23,071 burial places containing Commonwealth War Dead, of which 7,843 contain only 1914–18 war graves, 8,032 contain only 1939-45 war graves, and 7,196 contain graves of both world wars.
Of the many civilians of the Commonwealth whose deaths were due to enemy action in the 1939–45 war, the names of 66,375 are commemorated in the Civilian War Dead Roll of Honour, located near St. George's Chapel in Westminster Abbey, London.
