Gravenhurst, Ontario had, until recently had burials of four World War I soldiers deemed to be KIA as the result of disease. Because Gravenhurst had four Sanatoriums for the treatment of tuberculosis including the first in Canada and the first free san in the world a number of soldiers were sent here for treatment of TB, or trench lung, or the effects of poison gas attacks and who died here both during and after the war. As these men died, their bodies were usually brought home by their families for burial. But four were buried here. Then about 3 years ago, another man was tracked down and discovered to be buried here in an unmarked but recorded gravesite — a man who had emigrated from England just prior to the War and who had been diagnosed with TB and sent back to Canada for treatment. The town in England from which he came had been looking for all of their fallen sons, and he was the last to be tracked — to Gravenhurst. The CWGC paid to have a stone erected on his grave — a grave which sits in a little grove of other fallen WWI soldiers. I was there to be with him when his stone was installed. I am hoping still to have a CWGC ceremony to accord him the respect he is due — and to have with us a relative from England — once CWGC determines when that will happen.
