And Who Have No Known Grave

 Turning from where we left off yesterday shows us the biggest of the memorials around Green Island. 

This is in commemoration of Allied dead of the air forces in the Second World War. Many pilots did their training in Canada. This is in memory of over eight hundred who lost their lives serving and training around North America but who have no known grave.

I headed over to the nearby overlook.

Leamy Lake Park across the Ottawa River beckoned me. I remember walking through there one blistering hot day several years ago, to the main channel of the Gatineau River, which is off to the east of here, without taking water with me.

Here we come to the east channel of the Rideau River, where like its western counterpart, it plunges eleven meters to meet the Ottawa River.
