There is an Unknown Canadian in Mazargues as well:

You may notice the poppy placed at the foot of the grave.

It's one of the poppies that Yogi sent me last year.


After taking that picture, I buried the poppy.


Hopefully, that poppy will stay with this man, in the French sun, forever....

Regina Regina:
I've met a man who was in the Regina Rifles and transfered to them. He wrote a book about his experiences which I have a signed copy of. I'll take a look through there to see if those guys are mentioned too.



I took pics of all them R, they are all here:

I read they are missing them.

Taken from the monument, you have to give credit to the Americans,

they keep their cemeteries in absolutely perfect condition:

Dragoon was mostly an American operation, many US units involved, including the 36th and 45th division.

Here are some of our American cousins from the 1st SSF..
