Finding the grave of Glen Robert Campbell By Brenda Cairns

On October 14, 2010, I had the opportunity to visit the Coriano War Cemetery in Coriano, Italy. My neighbor anddear friend, Mary Lynch and her brother “Pete” Morris Campbell, had asked me if I could find their brother’s grave. Withthe wonderful Internet, I was able to locate the cemetery and the grave number, and the town looked close to where Iwould be on a free day of my holiday. I arranged a driver with my tour leader.

The town of Coriano was about two and a half hours from the hill top town of Cortona in Tuscany where I was staying.The drive was amazing. We went through the mountains and over a mountain pass with beautiful fall scenery and deep,deep valleys with rivers below us. When we reached the other side of the mountain, the landscape was like Gilbert Plains- a farming area that reached to the sea with rolling hills. It had been raining and the rain stopped when we reached Coriano.

I was so impressed with how beautifully kept the cemetery was. It looked like the grass had been trimmed with scissors. There was a visitor book where I left amessage. There was the history of the War in Italy from 1943-1945. I took photos of this wall. The writing from the wall is printed on the right.

The flowers were beautiful - so many roses. The cemetery was lined with maple trees and the leaves were falling. It was a beautiful resting place for these youngbrave men who gave their lives for us.

Glen Robert Campbell was born in Gilbert Plains in 1915. He was the son of John and Dorothy Campbell and brother to Mary (Lynch) Morris and Fred. Hisfather John and his grandfather Lt. Colonel Glen Campbell had both served in the 1st World War in the 107th, under command of his grandfather. His grandfather wasinducted into the Veterans Hall of Valor in 2009. His grandfather died overseas in the 1st World War from a kidney ailment that was not battle related.

At the time that Glen Robert went overseas with the Hastings and Prince Edward Regiment, he was married to Midge and living in Toronto. He was killed onthe 15th of September, 1944. He had just walked out the door of a building his platoon was billeting at for the night when a shell exploded beside him and killed himinstantly. He was 29 years old.

His brother, Fred, had been a mid-upper gunner on a Lancaster bomber. Fred’ s plane was shot down over Munchengladback, Germany on August 31,1943. Hewas 23. There were no survivors. It was their second last mission before they were to return home.

We located the grave of Glen Robert Campbell, Mary and Pete’s brother. It was in Section XIII, Row A, Grave 5. He had died on September 15, 1944. It was bya beautiful yellow rose bush. I picked a rose and placed it on the grave.

I was overcome with emotion in this cemetery. I walked the rows and read the names and realized that most of theseyoung men were in their 20’s. Many of the Canadian graves had small Canadian flags on them and I wished I had oneto put on Mr. Campbell’s grave. Then I remembered I had my Olympic mitts with me. So I placed one mitt on his grave.I filled the other mitt with soil from his grave and placed the note that Mary had written for him under the soil on thegrave. I brought the second mitt homefor Mary.

I also picked up about 20 mapleleaves that had fallen near the grave andbrought them home for the Campbellfamily. This day was the highlight of mytrip. I am so honored to have visited this

cemetery and I am so proud of all theyoung men who gave their lives so thatwe would have a better life.

This year, Remembrance Day willmean so much more for me.

Forget Them NotWe’ve lined their boots all in a row,

And amongst them stand, The saddest scene I’ll ever know,Goodbye dear friend, goodbye!

Through mud and rain and battle blows,We cried cursed prayers, On blood-soaked clothes;

And from that wound his life did flow,Please stay we begged, please stay!There is a time that soldiers know,

When so many die,That the pain and woe,

Is too much for the mind to hold;Roll on your drums, roll on!

A band of brothers stand in their rows;The empty boots still,Where a life did grow,

Our friends have gone, no more to know;Remember them always, remember!

BRiTiSh ColuMBia / Yukon CoMMand

Table of Contents Delta Branch 61EVERYDAY IS REMEMBRANCE DAY

‘Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,In a one bedroom house of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give,And to see just who in this home did live.I looked all about, a strange sight to see,No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand,On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.With Medals and Badges, awards of all kinds,A sober thought came through my mind.

For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle, the room in disorder,Not how I pictured a Canadian Soldier.Who was this hero of whom I’d just read,Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?

I realized the families that I saw this night,Owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.

Soon ‘round the world, the children would play,And grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas Day.

They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.

I couldn’t help wonder how many lay alone,On a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home.

The very thought brought a tear to my eye,I dropped to my knees and started to cry.

The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice,“Santa, don’t cry, this life is my choice”.

I fight for my freedom, I don’t ask for more,My life is my God, my Country, My Corps.The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleepI couldn’t control it, I continued to weep.I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,

And we both shivered from the cold night’s chill.

I didn’t want to leave on that cold, dark night,This Guardian of Honour, so willing to fight.

Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,Whispered, “Carry on Santa, It’s Christmas Day, All is Secure”.

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,“Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a Good Night”.

Written by a Peacekeeping Soldier stationed overseas.

Memorials ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


The soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He hoped his shoes were shining,

Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other

cheek?

To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and

said,

"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,

That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime,

When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though at times I shook with fear.

And sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,

It needn't be so grand.

I never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the

throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

You've borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,

You've done your time in Hell."

~ Author unknown

Prayer for Our Soldiers

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving

hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless

acts they perform for us in our time of

need.

I ask Lord.

Amen."
