Posted by karenl on February 13, 2024, 8:05 pm

"In a social media post, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission shared that they had a commissioned a special gift to recognise the Duke of Kent’s 53 years of service as its President.

The Cross of Sacrifice was specially made at the Commission’s workshop in Beaurains, France, as a way to thank the Duke, who stepped down last November as the Commission’s President.

The Duke of Kent first became involved with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in February 1970 and was succeeded by The Princess Royal.

“When HRH the Duke of Kent stepped down from his role as our President towards the end of last year, we wanted to give him a very special gift to thank him for more than 50 years of service to the Commission,” the Commission’s Facebook post reads."
