  • Photo of Lester Charles Jones– Submitted for the project, Operation: Picture Me
  • Grave Marker– grave marker of Lester Charles Jones in Alliance Cemetery, Alliance, Nebraska USA
  • Flag Holder– Flag holder by grave of Lester Charles Jones, which is used to hold an American flag in Honour of his service during WWII. Perhaps we should also place a Canadian "Maple Leaf" flag there in future. He appears to be the only person buried in that cemetery who went to Canada to serve in the RCAF, and I am sure that is no less important to recognize.
