RELATIVES visiting war graves on the Continent can get advice from the War Research Society.

The battlefield pilgrimage tour organisation, which covers both world wars, was originally formed by a group of retired and serving police officers.

Researchers work behind the scenes to help relatives and friends trying to track down graves of soldiers lost at war.

James Hill, spokesman for the society based in Banbury, said: "We can assist in tracing graves and carry out additional research if required."

More information from Mr Hill at the society's headquarters, Ewelm, Twyford Gardens, Twyford, Banbury OX17 3JJ.
