This was sent to Freeman's parents after the war. It was always reviled, but kept safe and locked away along with his favorite books and some of his clothes.

This little box arrived at the family home. It contained one item that Freeman had on his person when he was killed....his watch.

This is the watch that Freeman was wearing when he was killed. It still has mud wedged between the strap and the back of the watch. There is also some mud that got under the glass face (just around the edge).
This watch was returned to his family in Wetaskiwin by post in a small white box.

Freeman liked to have fun. We have many photos of him goofing around like this.
In this photo are his aunt and uncle (remaining dignified), Freeman is sitting on his pal Ollie (who is crouched down), his sister Violet is under his arm, and their pal George is embracing them from behind.
This photo was taken in Wetaskiwin shortly before the boys signed on.

CIMETIÈRE DU CANADA (Tilloy-les-Cambrai) Nord, France
Tilloy-les-Cambrai est un village dans la banlieue nord-ouest de la ville de Cambrai à quelque distance en direction est de la route à Douai. À partir de Cambrai, suivez la route N30 (route périphérique de Cambrai) jusqu'à l'intersection avec la route de Tilloy-les-Cambrai (D49) située juste après l'intersection de la route N30 et de la route N43 (route de Douai). Suivez la route D49 sur une distance de 2,2 kilomètres environ. Vous traverserez le pont qui enjambe l'autoroute. Prenez la petite route qui est du côté ouest-sud-ouest (gauche). Le cimetière se trouve au bout de cette route, à 200 mètres.
