Soldat Charles Elroy Clarkson
Charles Elroy Clarkson, young man from Ancaster, emerged from a dusty 91-year past into the clear light of the present. Elroy found a friend in fellow Hamiltonian Harry Clark. And they made a pact. If one of them should die, the other would take some special memento home to the deceased's parents. Harry Clark came home with Elroy's brown leather, military issue wallet. No one will ever know why Harry Clark failed to return that wallet to Elroy's grieving family. The approach of Remembrance Day spurred Harry's grandson to track down any living Clarksons. He found them, Clarksons and their descendants were coming out of the woodwork, all incredulous at seeing their long-dead ancestor's story in the paper. He is just happy that the wallet, which his grandfather was supposed to return to Elroy's family but never did, will be back with Elroy's family. "The wallet is finally going home."

CIMETIÈRE BRITANNIQUE DE DURY MILL Pas de Calais, France
Dury est un village du département du Pas-de-Calais situé à un kilomètre au nord de la route droite principale allant d'Arras à Cambrai (D939). Lorsque vous voyagez en direction de Cambrai sur la route D939, le Mémorial canadien de Dury est situé à 16 kilomètres environ d'Arras. Après le Mémorial, un panneau annonçant le cimetière se trouve à gauche, à 300 mètres, en direction de Dury. À 200 mètres de la route D939, il y a un panneau annonçant le cimetière à gauche. Le cimetière est situé dans les champs et on s'y rend en empruntant un sentier non pavé de 500 mètres.
