Private Walter Morrice
This photo is submitted by Anne's daughter. Though I did not know Walter (he was my mother's (Anne) first husband) I can remember her sharing memories of him on many occasions while she was alive.
This is the only photo that we have and are not aware of any living family members who might submit additional information. Walter was born on May 15, 1915 in Trail, British Columbia and was the son of William and Catherine Morrice of Aberdeen, Scotland.

BRETTEVILLE-SUR-LAIZE CANADIAN WAR CEMETERY Calvados, France
This cemetery lies on the west side of the main road from Caen to Falaise (route N158) and just north of the village of Cintheaux. Bretteville-sur-Laize is a village and commune in the department of the Calvados, some 16 kilometres south of Caen. The village of Bretteville lies 3 kilometres south-west of the Cemetery. Buried here are those who died during the later stages of the battle of Normandy, the capture of Caen and the thrust southwards (led initially by the 4th Canadian and 1st Polish Armoured Divisions), to close the Falaise Gap, and thus seal off the German divisions fighting desperately to escape being trapped west of the Seine. Almost every unit of Canadian 2nd Corps is represented in the Cemetery. There are about 3,000 allied forces casualties of the Second World War commemorated in this site.
