Lieutenant Edward Gustav Schwandt
Lt. Ed Schwandt was a double cousin to our mother Hertha McRae (Nee: Schwandt). They were also farm neighbours and schoolmates. Ed did his practice-teaching with Mom as his supervising teacher so they were always very close. We grew up with Mom's stories of Ed's active youth, his teaching and his sacrifice for his country. In 2017 my brother Stuart & I, along with our cousins Tricia & Darlene Swan, were able to pay homage and tribute to Ed. Submitted by Roger McRae.

Lt Fred Schwandt of the South Saskatchewan Regiment was a double cousin to Ed and was two years younger. They lived on neighbouring farms, attended school together and shared in sports activities. They were very close. After they had finished officers' training in the spring of 1944 they had a leave together in London. This would have been the last family contact for Ed. Fred often spoke to his family about Eddy. In 2017 Fred's daughters Tricia Swan-Sterner & Darlene Swan were able to pay tribute to our fallen family member. Submitted by Roger McRae

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).
