Sunday 11 November 2018 marks 100 years since the end of the First World War, in which more than one million Commonwealth soldiers lost their lives.

To mark the occasion, and to commemorate the dead, the Telegraph has been granted access to the Commonwealth War Grave Commission's database of graves.

Below, you can search for a surname using our tool and find out information about the number of Commonwealth casualties who shared that name - where they died, at what stage of the war and who their family were.

Whether you belong to the Royal Family or hail from slightly humbler origins, the chances are that your family bore some of the terrible human cost of the Great War.

A century on from Armistice Day, there is no better time than now to explore and remember the myriad individual human stories behind the global conflict that has shaped the geopolitical landscape of the World we inhabit today.
