Canada / Re: Cemeteries in Lovett, Alberta (ghost town)

What a super idea RedMystic - and look at all the info you and your friends have collected here so far - amazing.
From being almost forgotten poor little Lovett is now having lots of attention!
Didn't realise Alberta had strict privacy laws.
Where will your 'Find a Grave' page be - or is it not set up yet. Only wondering as the only Lovett I could find last night was another one!
Great that pictures are coming to light for some of the men too - though perhaps the poor deserter's story also is worth doing - as who are we to judge what his state of mind was at the time.
There is a memorial to those 'Shot at Dawn' in the uk - and it has apparently got Canadians named as well - so who knows?
2001 What many now see as one of the great injustices of the First World War is about to be honoured in Britain as a memorial to 306 deserters, including 23 Canadians, nears completion in the English Midlands.
