Do you have photos or information on any of these soldiers?
If you know of other soldiers from PEI, please help the researchers at the Faces to Grave project by sharing that information.

It’s likely true, as one prerequisite that Canadian Officers had in selecting land for the cemetery was to have a view of Germany.
