"To a greater degree than ever before, the 1939 – 1945 War involved not merely armies, but entire nations. The names of individuals mean little save to those who knew and loved them and mourn their loss, and the number of those who mourn will dwindle as the years pass by. But it is fitting that these names should be enrolled in Westminster Abbey, at the heart of the Commonwealth and among the most illustrious of the Nation's Dead, in commemoration of their suffering and as a tribute to their sacrifice" Imperial War Graves Commission 1939 – 1945 Civilian War Dead in the United Kingdom.
