We shall always see that the graves of these heroes from across the sea are lovingly tended, and we shall try to ensure that the generations that come after us shall never forget the heroic dead of Ireland.” These cemeteries and memorials are kept in immaculate condition by the Commonwealth War Graves Commision (CWGC) and the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC). The CWGC spends over £55 million each year maintaining 23,000 cemeteries and memorials in 153 countries that honour 1,700,000 people who died in WW1 and WW2. The ABMC cares for 8 U.S. military cemeteries and 12 monuments to honour the U.S. troops who died in WW1. 1 Australia Adelaide (West Terrace) Cemetery, Adelaide,in South Australia G / M - Grave / Memorial John Larkin, Killaloe, died Dec 1917, Australian Infantry, G/M Reference: Western.
