While there, the Cardigan MP visited a grave at the Moro River Cemetery near Ortona. The fallen soldier is Peter Adolphus Gallant from New Acadia, P.E.I., a member of the 48th Highlanders of Canada, RCIC, and son of Maurice M. and Josephine M. Gallant. MacAulay headed to France Monday, where he will remain until the end of the week for a variety of events around D-Day.
