Private Andrew Cameron "Cam" Landreth was the youngest son of Andrew and Agnes Landreth of Lauder, Manitoba. Born Sept. 23, 1892, he was younger brother to Janet (Jen), Mary, George, Esther, Annie, Jean and Anderson. Some time before WW1, Cam left the family farm and headed west to British Columbia to find work. He ended up in Nelson and when the war broke out he enlisted along with many other young men from that town. He trained at the Vernon Army Camp and served with the 54th Kootenay Battalion, "A Company". In November 1915 they crossed Canada by train to Halifax and embarked on the Saxonia to Britain as part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. After nine months of more training at Bramshott Camp in England, his Battalion left for France in August 1916. Cam died on April 9, 1917 at Vimy Ridge. -

GIVENCHY ROAD CANADIAN CEMETERY Pas de Calais, France
The Givenchy Road Canadian Cemetery at Neuville-St Vaast is a small cemetery situated in the compound of the Vimy Memorial Park which contains the Vimy Memorial. The village of Neuville-St Vaast is in the Department of the Pas-de-Calais, approximately 8 kilometres north of Arras on the N17 towards Lens. The cemetery is approximately 260 metres past Canadian Cemetery No.2 following the one-way system to rejoin the avenue leading back to the main road. The cemetery contains the graves of soldiers all of whom fell on the 9th April, 1917, or on one of the four following days. The cemetery covers an area of 849 square metres and is enclosed by a rubble wall. The numerous groups of graves made about this time by the Canadian Corps Burial Officer were, as a rule, not named but serially lettered and numbered. This cemetery was originally called CD 1.
