  CWGC Archive - A Family connection
  Barnaby Oswald visited the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Head Office to learn more about his remarkable family connection to the Commission. Barnaby is the Great Grandson of Colonel Christopher Percy Oswald, who was in charge of the Commission’s ﬁnancial affairs from 1929 to 1937. He had a great inﬂuence on the Commission’s policies during an important time in the Commission’s development.
