Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is taking a survey

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) is taking a survey so that they can “better understand our audience and how we tailor our services and communications to your needs”. 

Although, I never had anyone die because of the their service in First and Second World Wars, I visit the site quite often when doing research, so I was interested in what the survey was like, so I took it this morning.

I found the survey a bit long, and I think it was done to see how people felt about social media and (I think, although, I am not sure) what we would think about being charged a certain amount of money for things that maybe they were looking to sell.

So, what do you think? Do you find the site useful? Do you visit it that often?

1,700,000 men and women of the Commonwealth forces are buried in 154 counties around the world, including Canadians.
