England players Jonny May and Will Collier visited the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC) Brookwood Military Cemetery on Sunday 21st May to mark the commission’s centenary.

The players were given a tour of Brookwood Military Cemetery’s centenary exhibition, led by CWGC Exhibition Curator Andrew Fetherson, before a walk around the grounds.

This year, the RFU, in partnership with the CWGC has run a Rugby Remembers campaign, encouraging young people to share their local rugby history to commemorate rugby players who lost their lives during the First World War.
