In 1949, the Britannia Boating Club Memorial Park Association was formed to honour Club members killed overseas. An acre of land was purchased at Baskin's Beach on the Ottawa River (45 28 46.6 76 00 25.7). A cairn and flagpole was erected and a brass plaque honouring fallen members was attached to the plaque. The brass plaque states 'the Britannia Boating Club honours its members who gave their lives in his majesty's service during World War I 1914-1918 and World War II 1939-1945.' Landscaping was added in 1997. The Britannia Boating Club was renamed the Britannia Yacht Club (BYC). The Britannia Yacht Club (2777 Cassels Street Ottawa K2B 6N6)maintains the memorial park and cairn. The memorial park remains a popular camping area for Club members.

Le CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE REICHSWALD FOREST est situé à 5 kilomètres au sud-ouest de Kleve. En partant de Kleve, empruntez la Hoffmannallee à partir du centre ville, route qui devient la Materbornerallee. Cette route mène vers Reichsald Forest et change pour la Grunewaldstrasse. Suivez les directions pour Gennep, en empruntant Reichswald Forest et le cimetière se trouve à 500 mètres sur la gauche.
Il existe une autre alternative : À partir de l'autoroute 57, prenez la sortie pour Kleve/Goch, laquelle vous mènera sur la 9N en direction de Kleve. Après avoir parcouru 3 kilomètres, tournez sur la 504 en direction de Kranenburg. Le cimetière de Reichswald est clairement annoncé sur la 504 au carrefour Grunewald. Le CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE REICHSWALD FOREST est situé sur la Grunewald Strasse en direction de Kleve à droite, à 3 kilomètre du carrefour Grunewald. Vous trouverez ci-joint une feuille d'information sur le cimetière et son emplacement que vous pourriez trouver intéressant.
