Burial/memorial information
Canada names natural features for its war dead, and so we have the Schwandt River in far northeastern Saskatchewan, flowing NE out of Keseechewun Lake into Misaw Lake, and then north out of the south end of Misaw Lake into Patterson Lake, Kasba Lake thence the Kazan River. The Kazan eventually flows into Hudson Bay through Chesterfield Inlet at Baker Lake, very near the geographic center of Canada.
