John Ronald Campbell survived a world war, only to come home to Canada where he died in a sawmill accident.

On Saturday, Nov. 6, Campbell鈥檚 great-granddaughter will honour his memory, and the memory of other Canadian soldiers who gave their lives, by tending to the veteran headstones in the Fort 91原创 cemetery, next to the cenotaph.

Marley Finstead, 11, and dozens of other scouts were going to spend the morning carefully cleaning the grave markers with gentle applications of water, cleaning cloths, and toothbrushes, plus raking up leaves in advance of the Nov. 11 invitation-only Remembrance Day service.

鈥淚 think about the people who risked their lives,鈥� Marley told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淚 think it鈥檚 a little sad.鈥�

It was the first time she has participated in the annual cleanup event.

Marley鈥檚 mom, Colleen Campbell, commissioner of the First Walnut Grove scout troop, will be there, too.

鈥淚 think everyone should take time to remember those who gave up their lives,鈥� Campbell remarked.

First Walnut Grove, First Fort 91原创, and First Willoughby scout troops will be taking turns, working at different times during the morning to ensure safe distancing is maintained, said Jonathan Meads, contact scouter for the First Fort 91原创 troop, the group that began the practice in 2017.

鈥淚n previous years, they would all come together and just blitz the site,鈥� Meads noted.

There will also be coronavirus restrictions on the open-air service on Remembrance Day, Meads added, with each scout troop limited to eight youth only, with an additional eight from a combined Venture group of older scouts from the three 91原创-area troops and others.

鈥淲e鈥檙e trying to make sure there鈥檚 enough spacing to meet the requirements,鈥� Meads explained.
