Office of Australian War Graves (OAWG)
The OAWG has three roles:
- to maintain war cemeteries and individual war graves in Australia and the region
- to commemorate eligible veterans who died post-war and whose deaths were caused by their war service
- to build and maintain national memorials overseas (e.g. at Hellfire Pass Memorial Museum in Thailand).
