ichen in hues of green and white grow in petal-like blotches across the modest gravestone. At first glance, you can barely make out a name or any dates on the marker. Look closer though, and you can pick out a clue that this is the final resting place of a First World War veteran – the poppy in the stone’s top right hand corner. Here lies Acting Corporal Horace McNutt. Born Oct 10, 1891 in Truro, Colchester County, Nova Scotia; died 1940 and buried at the Campbell River Cemetery.

Pat Goddard is one of the founders of the Campbell River Genealogy Society and she’s here today flagging the burial site of Sgt. Erling T. Wolner, a Second World War vet who died Dec. 22, 1982 at age 73. “There, that’s better,” she says with satisfaction. The flag project was the idea of another shy society member who wanted to commemorate the grave site of a relative, but doesn’t want to be identified. The irony of a researcher who

Pat Goddard, one of the founders of the Campbell River Genealogy Society, places a Canadian flag beside the grave of Sgt. Erling T. Wolner, a veteran of the Second World War. The society is placing flags at the grave sites of all known vets for Remembrance Day.
