F.36192 private J.R. Fraser. The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada. 13Th October 1944. Age 21.

Vandaag weer even naar het Canadian War Cemetery geweest. De graven lagen er mooi bij. Morgen is het 4 mei. Dan gaan we er weer een bloemetje leggen. Mijn bloemen gaan naar Private J.R. Fraser, 21 jaar jong, en gestorven voor onze (mijn) vrijheid.

Eternal rest grant unto him o lord and let perpetual light shine upon him.

Landing in Normandy shortly after D-Day, the Black Watch participated in some thirty battle actions throughout France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany.
