Thus no one will ever propose to disturb the slumbers of the seventy or eighty Cana- dians among them Lance-Corporal Sifton, V. C. Who rest in a huge mine crater on Vimy Ridge. The crater has been rounded and smoothed ; a huge cross outlined on the earth at the bottom of the hole marks the common grave; and at the rim of the crater, 46 Over the Canadian Battlefields visible from the roadside, is a modest, tem- porary memorial bearing the names of the fallen. As we crossed the battlefields of Co...ur- celette by the Bapaume-Albert highway Canadian soldiers in numbers appeared by the roadside. Upon inquiry we learned that nearly 400 Canadians, representing most branches of the service, were engaged in collecting the Canadian dead of the Somme battlefields into one large cemetery which will be maintained by the Canadian authori- ties. Further along the road towards Albert we came to two wayside cemeteries. One to the right showed a profusion of white crosses arranged not in orderly rows but in little groups, showing that the soldiers whose graves were thus marked had been buried where they fell.
