The War Detectives: The work of the JCCC (part 2)

Speaker: Rosie Barron
JCCC The War Detectives

The presentation will be live and online.

The Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC) Commemorations Team, also known as the "MOD War Detectives," identifies the remains of British service members from historical battlefields and rededicates previously unknown graves. They primarily investigate cases from World War I onwards.

Last year's presentation by Rosie Barron, who is one of the 'War Detectives' was hugely popular, so we are delighted that Rosie has agreed to return with a further presentation.

Once again we will be looking at a few examples of the JCCC's work and how they go about identifying men from the First World War whose bodies have either been recently recovered or who were previously 'known unto God'.
