The first free public lecture being held at the University of Bath in Swindon will be about the work of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

The commission was created in 1917 and is responsible for commemorating commonwealth servicemen and women.

Previous speakers at the university have included the broadcaster Bel Mooney, pictured, and the former Conservative foreign secretary Lord Hurd of Westwell.

The talk will be held on the Oakfield Campus on Thursday January 20 at 6.15pm.
