SWIFT CURRENT -- More than 30 wooden grave markers have been replaced with permanent headstones at the Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Swift Current. The wooden crosses were put up the by the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion over the years in a section of the cemetery known as the “Field of Honour” for soldiers without an official military marker, many of them from veterans of WWI and WWII. “The wooden crosses were put in place where there was no marker for a deceased veteran,” said Jim Pratt, a past president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 56. The crosses are prone to weathering and eventually need to be restored or replaced. But now the legion has partnered with the Last Post Fund to give the soldiers permanent headstones through its Unmarked Grave Program.
