Published to coincide with the ninetieth anniversary of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Remembered highlights the importance of the Commission's work not only in commemorating the dead, but also in preserving in perpetuity some of the most significant heritage sites of the twentieth century. Drawing on both archival material and personal reminiscences and anecdotes, Julie Summers traces the history of this organization and explores the contributions made to the Commission's work by such individuals as Rudyard Kipling, its first literary adviser, and the renowned architects Edwin Lutyens, Reginald Blomfield and Herbert Baker. Specially commissioned images by awarding-winning photographer Brian Harris provide a moving tribute to those servicemen and women commemorated in the Commission's cemeteries and on its memorials around the world, from isolated graves in Newfoundland, Canada, to the majestic silent cities of Tyne Cot in Belgium, Etaples in France, El Alamein in Egypt and Chungkai in Thailand, and the tranquility of the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.

It's 1950s austerity Britain, and out of the gloom comes Goon mania as men, women and children across the country scramble to get their ear to a wireless for another instalment of The Goon Show. While Harry Secombe and Peter Sellers get down to the serious business of becoming overnight celebrities, fellow Goon and chief writer Spike nds himself pushing the boundaries of comedy, and testing the patience of the BBC. Flanked by his fellow Goons and bolstered by the e orts of irrepressible sound assistant Janet, Spike takes a ourishing nosedive o the cli s of respectability, and mashes up his haunted past to create the comedy of the future. His war with Hitler may be over, but his war with Auntie Beeb - and ultimately himself - has just begun. Will Spike's dogged obsession with nding the funny elevate The Goons to soaring new heights, or will the whole thing come crashing down with the stroke of a potato peeler?
