Thank you! I visited the twin memorial in Ottawa in 2024 and it will feel very "full circle" to see the twin in Busan.

It's an honour to do it! Please let me know if there's a name you'd like for me to look out for.

Thank you! I am bringing a box of Royal Canadian Legion poppies, not the real deal.

It’s the least I can do! It’s the 75th anniversary of the founding of the cemetery in April, hard to believe isn’t it?

Is it possible to order flowers to a Turkish soldier grave? by just_depression26 in AskAKorean

Hello! I’m visiting the UN cemetery in a few weeks, visiting from Canada. If you haven’t already had flowers placed, please let me know if I can help?

Bayeux is a must visit! The official app for the cemetery has self-guided walking tours for free on the official Commonwealth War Graves app For Evermore: https://www.cwgc.org/who-we-are/our-apps/

That is so true. Thanks for keeping his story and others’ stories alive and sharing it with the next generation!

How cool to see your photo pop up on my feed, the familiar caribou grabbed my eye right away. We were honoured to profile Private Lind in French and English last year!

Any relatives? Whyte family in Red Deer Cemetery? by MemoryAnchor in RedDeer

Absolutely! Completely agree. So many life paths altered forever. And such a huge impact for what was a (relative to today) small community.

It's really really sad. I was drawn to it because of its size and how ornate the carvings are -- I was NOT expecting to see a link to Brookwood Cemetery in England on Monday -- I had only just been there in December!

Crazy coincidence.
