The family marker for the family of George Walter Nation. It is located in Ross Bay Cemetery, Victoria, British Columbia. The photograph was taken in the spring of 2009.
The following is a transcription from the 7th Battalion's war diary for the day Lt. Nation lost his life:
Quiet all day. 10 p.m. Enemy exploded a large mine in BLUFF SECTOR.
Our machine gun fire & artillery barrage effective in preventing enemy leaving his trenches. No 1 Coy immediately occupy and consolidate crater. Between 11 p.m. & midnight Bn is relieved by 4th Bn & move to DOMINION LINES.

« RAILWAY DUGOUTS BURIAL GROUND » Belgique
Le « Railway Dugouts Burial Ground (Transport Farm) » est situé à 2 kilomètres au sud-est du centre-ville d'Ypres, sur la Komenseweg, reliant Ypres à Komen (N336).
À partir du centre-ville d'Ypres, rendez-vous sur la Komenseweg par la Rijselsestraat, en traversant la porte de Lille (Rijselpoort) et la route périphérique d'Ypres, en direction d'Armentières et de Lille. Le nom de la route devient alors Rijselseweg. Conduisez sur une distance d'un kilomètre et tournez à gauche sur la Komenseweg. Le cimetière se trouve du côté droit de cette route, à 1,2 kilomètre.
