Grave Marker
Andrew and has brother Edward died ~6 months apart and are buried ~ 40 km apart; Edward in Antwerp and Andrew in Brussels. In both instances the Commonwealth War Commission does a great job of honouring Canadian war dead buried on foreign soil and meticulously maintaining the grave sites. I do not know the Laturnus family, have only come to know their name and their story as a consequence of the geo-memorial program in Saskatchewan. Laturnus Island Ames after Edward.
