Burial/memorial information
Eugene was chosen to represent the province of Ontario at the 1937 Coronation of King George VI.
In September 1989, an excavation at Autels-Saint-Bazile allowed the retrieval of the wreckage of the Typhoon belonging to Flight Lieutenant Miron, 245 Squadron, fallen on August 17, 1944. Only the four guns and one rocket were found.
In December 1989 his family, namely his brother Ernest, a veteran Lancaster bomber pilot himself, another brother and his sister, came from Canada to attend his internment at the cemetery Saint-Charles de Percy, the last cemetery open for burial of allied soldiers and airmen killed in Normandy.
Flight Lieutenant (Pilot) Miron is also commemorated on the Runnymede Memorial in England.
