was reading a book on Cdn Victoria cross recipients, and at the back of the book it shows where each VC was now (museum, collection, etc) as well as where the recipient was buried.

Three Canadian Victoria Cross recipients are buried in the Greenwood Cemetery in Owen Sound, Ontario...right near where BG hangs his hat.

What would be the odds of having three buried in the same cemetery in a relatively remote area?

I was reading a book about WW1 flying aces. A (disproportionately) large number were from Carleton Place(population 10,000) . This is a small town near Ottawa Ontario.

No idea why that is.

Born: 23 December, 1893 in Carleton Place, Ontario

Died: 9 March, 1944 in Stouffville, Ontario

Confirmed Victories:10

Arthur Roy Brown was one of four aces that came from Carleton Place, during WWI.
