Captain Herve Murray Grant
Born 29 August 1891, eldest son of William Shearer Grant and Mary Evelyn (Mingaye) of Winnipeg, Manitoba. He died of wounds at age 26, on October 28, 1917, two days after Lt-Gen Sir Arthur Currie's Canadian Corps began the attack for Passchendaele, Belgium. By November 7, having endured appalling conditions and having suffered over 15,000 dead and wounded, the Canadians seized Passchendaele. Captain H.M. Grant's grave is in Lijssnthoek Cemetary on the outskirts of Poperinge, just west of Ypres, Belgium. Near him in the region that same week was his younger brother from Winnipeg, William Mingaye Grant, then age 21 (1896-1989), who married Wilma Emilie (Weir) and was the father of four sons, James Mingaye Grant, Gordon Weir Grant, Robert Murray Grant and Ian van Felson Grant.

LIJSSENTHOEK MILITARY CEMETERY Belgium
Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery is located about 12 kilometres west of Ieper town centre, on the Boescheepseweg, a road leading from the N308 connecting Ieper to Poperinge.
From Ieper town centre, the Poperingseweg (N308) is reached via Elverdingsestraat, then over two small roundabouts in the J. Capronstraat. The Poperingseweg is a continuation of the J. Capronstraat and begins after a prominent railway level crossing. On reaching Poperinge, the N308 joins the left hand turning onto the R33, Poperinge ring road. The R33 ring continues to the left hand junction with the N38 Frans-Vlaanderenweg. 800 metres along the N38 lies the left hand turning onto Lenestraat. The next immediate right hand turning leads onto Boescheepseweg. The cemetery itself is located 2 kilometres along Boescheepseweg on the right hand side of the road.
From Calais, take the motorway A16 signposted Dunkerque/Lille. At Dunkerque take the motorway signposted Lille/Ypres, the A25. Leave the motorway at Junction 13, the village of Steenvoorde. Follow the D948/N38 signposted Ieper/Poperinge. After approximately 8-10 kilometres Lijssenthoek Military Cemetery will be signposted off to the right.
