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, Twelve Mile Island 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.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE BÉNY-SUR-MER Calvados, France
Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer est à environ 1 km à l'est du village de Reviers, sur la route de Creully-Tailleville-Ouistreham (D35). Reviers est un village et une commune du Calvados, à 15 km au nord-est de Caen, à 18 km à l'est de Bayeux et à 3,5 km au sud de Courseulles, un village sur la Manche. Le village de Bény-sur-Mer se trouve à environ 2 km au sud-est du cimetière. L'autocar entre Caen et Arromanches (via Reviers et Ver-sur-Mer) passe devant le cimetière.
C'est un peu au nord, sur la côte, qu'est débarquée la 3e Division du Canada le 6 juin 1944 et que 335 officiers et soldats ont été tués au combat ou sont morts de leurs blessures. Dans ce cimetière reposent les Canadiens qui ont péri lors du débarquement en Normandie et au cours des premières étapes de la campagne qui a suivi.
Les Canadiens qui sont morts vers la fin des combats en Normandie sont inhumés au cimetière militaire canadien de Bretteville-sur-Laize. Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer compte 2048 sépultures, ainsi qu'un monument spécial érigé à la mémoire d'un soldat du Corps canadien d'infanterie dont on sait qu'il a été inhumé ici, mais dont la tombe n'a jamais pu être trouvée.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
