Beny-Sur-Mer memorial visit inspires gratitude and reflection
A Winnipeg writer recalls visiting Beny-Sur-Mer Canadian War Cemetery in Europe with family. He describes sobering rows of headstones, ages 18 to 40, chiefly Canadian graves with only four British and one French Resistance interred. He notes personal connections, including Henry Ward of Roblin and Daniel Yeo of PEI, Saskatchewan, and ends with thanks to veterans and a pledge to remember.
