'The Commonwealth War Graves Commission'

by

John Marr

Originally from Stornoway, John Marr served in the British army for six years, then spent thirty years as a paramedic with the Scottish Ambulance Service.  He has been an 'Eyes On, Hands On' (EOHO) volunteer for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for four years, helping to clean, repair and maintain the graves of service men and women throughout the Highlands & Islands. 

John also gives talks about the work of the CWGC, and conducts tours of  cemeteries and battlefields.  He had his own company called Battlefield Select Tours for ten years, which took hundreds of people on tours of the battlefields of Western Europe, including some years ago a party from our own British Legion in Nairn.

John is a member of the Guild of Battlefield Guides.
