Mike Foxhead on the Menin Gate | Indigenous Involvement in the World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars | From Vimy to Juno: Canadians Through Two World Wars

Mike Foxhead is commemorated on the Menin Gate. During a 2005 Aboriginal Spiritual Journey sponsored by the Canadian Government, Clarence Wolfleg marked the spot with a cross and a flower. The Menin Gate is located at the eastern exit of the town of Ypres (Ieper), Belgium. It marks one of the routes that Allied soldiers took to reach the front line during the defence of the Ypres Salient. Inscribed on the inner walls of the Gate are the names of 55,000 Commonwealth soldiers who died without known graves.
