  • Paying respects– My Dad was born 8 years after his uncle James Ward Warriner died near Vimy Ridge. They named my dad Ward after his uncle. It was very moving to visit this grave and see my family name there. It was extra special to have my son Nick with me for this visit. Thanks for your sacrifice James.
