Does anyone know anything about this cemetery, is there a list of burials? deilah evans USA -------------------------- Saturday » April 28 » 2007 Military cemetery has fascinating history Times Colonist Thursday, April 26, 2007 Re: "Celebrating our own remarkable people," April 22. You missed our most interesting cemetery, specifically reserved for those who contributed so enormously to our beginnings -- our veterans. The graveyard in the middle of the Gorge Vale Golf Course holds a plethora of mysteries and suggestions of great deeds possibly far more bemusing than the lives of many albeit worthy politicians and civic dignitaries. The include a boy seaman who "fell from the yards" of a British warship, a lieutenant-governor involved in a notorious scandal, pilots, nurses, a divinity student who rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and earned the Distinguished Service Order and the Military Cross twice. In that quiet place, surrounded by pleasant sunlit fairways and the click of well-hit golf balls, lie the remains of stokers scalded to death in a cruiser's boiler room explosion, those who endured four years of shelling in the trenches or bombing raids over Germany, corporals, captains and a man slain here in his homeland -- as well as his murderer, who lies beneath an unmarked slab. These were those who had voluntarily risked their very lives for us. I am inclined to agree: "That's much more important." Tony Hawkins, Victoria. © Times Colonist (Victoria) 2007
