This section is concerned with the Commission's work in constructing and maintaining cemeteries and graves, arranged according to the geographical area in which the work took place. It is divided into 6 sub-sections (A-F). The sub sections cover:
A. The United Kingdom, the Crown Colonies and the Irish Free State.
B. France and Belgium.
C. Northern Europe (Germany, Poland, the Baltic, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and the USSR).
D. Italy, Greece and the other parts of South East Europe.
