Concentration of Graves (Exhumation and Reburial) Reburial
This image of the "Concentration of Graves (Exhumation and Reburial) Reburial" shows that Pte. Cantlon, who was initially to be listed on the Vimy Memorial, was identified when exhumed on July 27, 1928 because he had a badge of the Wayburn Fire Department in his pocket. His "Attestation Papers" list his occupation as a Teamster in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. You will note the image of the headstone has the words "Believed to Be" inscribed on the top edge. -
