Return Trip to Korea by a group of KVA Veterans Apr 2007

Nov 11 2001 Busan Korea We will Remember

The Korea Times, a leading English language newspaper published in Seoul today ran a photo and caption from the first ever November 11 Veterans Commemoration Day held in the United Nations Cemetery in Busan.
Shown in the photo are Mr. Peter Seiersen, who represented all Canadian Veterans and with him is Mr. Leo Demay, the son of Fallen Comrade Soldat Andre A. Regimbald, who was killed in action in Korea on September 5, 1952, serving with the 1st Battalion of The Royal 22e Regiment.
M. Demay had been at the UN Cemetery a week earlier visiting his father’s grave. He heard about the November 11 Veterans Memorial Service that was scheduled and remained in Busan several days so that he could participate.
He placed floral tribute for his father. Mr. Seiersen placed floral tributes for each of the three battalions of The Royal Canadian Regiment, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, The PPCLI Warrant Officers and Senior NCO’s Club (Retired) and for the Korea Veterans Association of Canada.
Peter also placed flowers for the memory of Corporal James Kenneth Evans, of 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, who was killed in action on October 23, 1951. The wreath was placed on behalf of Captain James L. Colville and a fellow corporal who had served with Corporal Evans.
They are shown in the photo standing in front of the Monument to Canadian Fallen. The monument is sited in the middle of the Canadian graves section of the cemetery.
