11 Nov The guns fell silent on November 11th, forty Canadians died that day

Most died of wounds or disease but three were killed in action. George Price we all know but the other two were members of the 16th Brigade, CFA and they died firing over open sights stopping a charge of Bolsheviks at Shenkursk, North Russia. Corporal S. B. Wareham and Gunner Walter Conville were buried there, but after the Intervention the British abandoned those graves and Alternatively Commemorated (AC) them in Archangel Cemetery, and later still AC’d them at Brookwood, Surrey, and later they went back to AC them at Archangel. Information on their original graves as to location was very detailed and the remains could have been recovered and maybe still could.
