Authors T. A. Edwin Gibson and G. Kingsley Ward chronicle the extraordinary history of this monumental endeavour, from the pioneering vision of Sir Fabian Ware to the construction and ongoing care of over 23,000 cemeteries and memorials across 150 countries. With meticulous research and deep reverence, the authors detail the architectural philosophy, horticultural standards, and administrative triumphs that transformed the landscape of grief into enduring places of dignity and beauty.\n\nBeyond its historical narrative, this work stands as a profound meditation on memory, sacrifice, and the solemn duty owed to those who gave their lives in service of their nations. Gibson and Ward's prose is measured and authoritative, carrying the weight of the subject with grace, ensuring that every name carved in Portland stone feels present on the page. A vital reference for military historians, genealogists, and anyone moved by the quiet power of a well-tended war grave, Courage Remembered leaves the reader with an indelible question: how do we, the living, truly honour those whose names liveth for evermore?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130915659995,"sku":"2026200011945-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3df5cfcd-25a1-45be-9907-bebb8f466edf.png?v=1786591810","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011945-secondhand-courage-remembered","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
