There is also a memorial to each of the five Australian divisions, located from Polygon Wood in Belgium to Pozieres, and the bronze map at each one shows all five, and other sites of special significance to Australia, including the main Australian memorial just north of Villers-Bretonneux. I have also been to a CWGC cemetery west of Caen to visit My Good Lady's uncle, aircrew shot down on the night of 5-6 June 1944.

But you will find memorials of significance to Canada and Newfoundland when you make your visit, all lovingly tended, peaceful, restful places....
Well I don't know if I will ever get to visit. That's why I really appreciate finding photos and videos and accounts of others visiting since I have to live through them vicariously. ;) But I'm glad the CWGC is doing a good job from what you're saying!
