Jill Miles has brought a wreath to her grandfather’s grave every year since she was a little girl.
Albert Boddingham, who was buried in France but has a gravestone in Fredericton, fought in the First World War and died in the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917.
Miles, who attended Fredericton’s Remembrance Day ceremony on Tuesday, said her grandfather’s sacrifice helped stop evil.
“You have to remember,” she said in an interview. “Those people died so we could be free.”
