DAWSON CITY MEMORIAL
I am appreciative to Reg. # 22007, I. M. Saunders for this photograph which he took in Dawson City in October 1957 or 1958. In the photograph you will note 15 grave sites. They contain a mix of deceased NWMP and RNWMP and one RCMP member. R.I.P. Below are 10 of the 15 he was able to decode. Ira reports that the names of the members in the back, and one on the front left corner could not be read clearly. In light of this I will contact our Dawson City Detachment to obtain additional data.
