The resting place of 490 Canadians who died on Sicily 1n 1943. Surly one of the most beautiful locations for a military cemetery.

 

Agira, Central Sicily.

Thanks Steve for the background on the Canadian troops. Excellent.

 

Colin: Do you have that file in any other form? Looks like it's a Word Perfect file and most people won't be able to open it including yours truly?

 

But wait, look what I found by doing some snooping on the Internet... :D

The resting place of some Canadian 'D-Day Dodgers'. The Canadian Military Cemetery at Agira, Sicily.

As I've said many times a beautiful location.
