We remember Cst. Elwood Joseph Keck, Cst. Gordon Eric Pedersen, and Cst. Donald George Weisgerber, who were killed near Kamloops on June 18, 1962, in one of the BC RCMP’s worst one-day losses ever.

The three Members responded to a report of a game warden being threatened by a man with a rifle, with both Cst. Pedersen and Cst. Keck on duty, and off-duty Cst. Weisgerber deciding to join them. When the Members encountered the man, a foot race ensued and the men exchanged fire, resulting in the loss of life of all three constables.

The man was pursued and tracked down by other RCMP officers following the incident, ultimately resulting in his death.

Help Care for War Graves in Canada.

Royal Canadian Legion members can help honour the fallen of the Commonwealth by joining the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s National Volunteer Program.

On June 1, the program launched in Quebec and New Brunswick, completing its national footprint. Volunteers are needed in Quebec, New Brunswick, and in rural communities across the country.

CWGC Volunteers visit their assigned war graves in local cemeteries twice a year to
report on their condition, and if needed, perform light cleaning using approved methods. By giving a little of your time, you can help care for war graves and ensure the stories of the fallen are never forgotten.
