Veteran's Week starts tomorrow and continues until Remembrance Day on 11 November. This is the time we honour those who have served Canada, past and present, in times of war, military conflict and peace.
This year is considerably different than previous ones as we try to limit the size of gatherings across our nation. However, in many communities, one can still visit the grave sites of those that have gone before us.
We've compiled a list of known last resting place for Gunners connected with the 15th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA. The list consists of 278 names with known gravesites including, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Russia, Korea, USA and nine provinces. Print off a copy (letter size, double-sided, flip pages on short edges), check out their history in our nominal roll and pay your respects at a cemetery nearby.
Ubique, my friends. You will not be forgotten.

Veterans’ Week is fast approaching. If you are looking for an interesting learning opportunity during this special time, tune in to Veterans Affairs Canada’s virtual historians panel on the future of commemoration in our country.
As we look back on the successful commemorations of the 100th and 75th anniversaries of the First and Second World Wars in recent years, we also have an opportunity to look ahead and explore what remembrance in Canada could look like in the years to come. Since the end of the Second World War, Canada’s military has actively supported many international peace and security efforts in different regions around the globe.
Featuring Dr. Tim Cook, Dr. Mélanie Morin-Pelletier and Dr. Andrew Burtch from the Canadian War Museum, this approximately one-hour session will be held live on November 9 beginning at 12:30 pm (EST). It will be available for subsequent viewing to fit your schedule, as well.
Viewers will also have the opportunity to pre-submit their own questions for the panelists to answer. Don’t miss out – sign up by November 4 to take part. Simply email Veterans Affairs Canada at the following address to register (please indicate whether you wish to watch in English or French): [email protected].    
Please share this message with your network or anyone who you think would enjoy the opportunity to watch this very timely discussion.
Thank you,
