Same. Took our driver about 2 hours of driving around to find the cemetery as he had no idea where it was (he made a lucky guess). Surprisingly the Navy doesn't have a wreath laying ceremony (at least I couldn't find one any in any manual and neither the Buffer nor the Coxswain knew of any) so I had to make one up (maybe they do now?). I guess it's the thought that counts. Cemetery has a nice view though.

Hong Kong Park, up behind the Law Courts and Pacific Place Mall, also has a monument dedicated to the Winnipeg Grenadiers. SM John Osborn VC.
