Major Archibald Duncan MacDonald
Gananoque, Ontario is a small town situated on the St. Lawrence River in the heart of 1,000 Islands. It is one of hundreds of communities throughout Canada with war memorials which commemorate more than 110,000 men and women who lost their lives during both world wars. Over a thousand citizens from Gananoque and surounding areas served in the navy, army, or air force: 83 lost their lives in parts of Canada, and in the battlefields of Europe. Among the dead of Gananoque include a 15 year old solider, a father of ten, four sets of brothers and a Victoria Cross winner. <P>
Today the town cenotaph lists the names of those who died and few citizens are aware of their family backgrounds or their circumstances of their deaths. Geraldine Chase of Gannaoque and Bill Beswetherick of Kingston believed it was necessary to collect this information and perpetuate their sacrifices.<P>
Gananoque Remembers book is a tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom.<P>

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE BÉNY-SUR-MER Calvados, France
Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer est à environ 1 km à l'est du village de Reviers, sur la route de Creully-Tailleville-Ouistreham (D35). Reviers est un village et une commune du Calvados, à 15 km au nord-est de Caen, à 18 km à l'est de Bayeux et à 3,5 km au sud de Courseulles, un village sur la Manche. Le village de Bény-sur-Mer se trouve à environ 2 km au sud-est du cimetière. L'autocar entre Caen et Arromanches (via Reviers et Ver-sur-Mer) passe devant le cimetière.
C'est un peu au nord, sur la côte, qu'est débarquée la 3e Division du Canada le 6 juin 1944 et que 335 officiers et soldats ont été tués au combat ou sont morts de leurs blessures. Dans ce cimetière reposent les Canadiens qui ont péri lors du débarquement en Normandie et au cours des premières étapes de la campagne qui a suivi.
Les Canadiens qui sont morts vers la fin des combats en Normandie sont inhumés au cimetière militaire canadien de Bretteville-sur-Laize. Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer compte 2048 sépultures, ainsi qu'un monument spécial érigé à la mémoire d'un soldat du Corps canadien d'infanterie dont on sait qu'il a été inhumé ici, mais dont la tombe n'a jamais pu être trouvée.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
