My grandmother, Myrtle Beaver, was Arthur's sister. This picture is from her collection of photos. Uncle Arthur was born and raised in Alderville First Nation. Here he is (left) with a couple of boys from home - George Blaker (centre) and Alvin Hagar (right) both of whom survived the war. Date of photo is unknown. Not sure if you include pictures of others on this site. I could certainly crop it and resend if needed but I thought it was important to leave the integrity of the photo intact as it reflects the importance of comradely and the inherent bond among the boys from home.

My grandmother, Myrtle Beaver, was Arthur's sister. This picture is from her collection of photos. Typewritten on the back of the photo is "Calais Canadian Cemetery Plot 1 Row G Grave 1". Stamped in red is "This is a temporary wooden Cross, which the Imperial War Graves Commission will replace with a permanent Headstone". All of my family members who have passed on are buried in our cemetery at home in Alderivlle First Nation. I imagine it would have been difficult to not only lose a son and brother but to not be able to bring him home. I am concluding that this was a picture that was sent to the family, like so many other families, so they could have some closure.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE CALAIS (Leubringhen) Pas de Calais, France
Leubringhen est un village dans le département du Pas-de-Calais, à mi-chemin entre Calais et Boulogne et on y trouve le cimetière de guerre canadien de Calais. Celui-ci est situé du côté est de la route Calais-Boulogne, à 14 kilomètres de Calais.
De Calais, quittez l'autoroute à l'intersection 9 et prenez à gauche sur la N3-E402 vers St Inglevert. Passez à travers le village et en sortant, prenez votre première gauche par-dessus le pont-route et suivez cette route pendant environ 250 mètres. Vous apercevrez le cimetière à votre gauche.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
