. Illness or accident claimed the lives of thirty-four members of the Unit. All were interred in local cemeteries in Great Britain, with collections from their fellow members going toward the purchase of headstones at their grave sites. There was also a group of  three hundred and thirty-five men who were returned to Newfoundland due to accident or illness. This is a list of names of those who died, including their home towns, date of  death and place of burial. . Click here for a picture of the Memorial to these men located at Grand Falls, Newfoundland (use your "back"button to return to this page) . Click here for more on the Memorial, and comments on these men who did not make it home from "Lumberjack Larry", the memoirs of Larry Gladney (1901) of Clarenville. Larry's brother Michael (1900) was one of those who died in Scotland, and he is buried at Loch Laggan. .
