Canada is only such good country due to the large amounts of my countrymen who
went out to help build it! ;)
There was quite a good show on TV here last week about the Scots-Canadians who
returned to fight for Great Britain in WW1. The main focus for the show was a

Just one of the ~7000 Canadians who died in Belgium and have no know grave...
