More model informationSet in a prominent location along the road in the south-eastern corner of the RCMP National Memorial Cemetery at Beechwood is the memorial for Constable Marmaduke Graburn. As a memorial should, it brings thoughts of the person, and then leads to speculation about the context of his or her life.
On June 9, 1879 Marmaduke Graburn was sworn in as a Constable in the Northwest Mounted Police in Ottawa.
On November 17th, 1879 Constable Graburn was the first member of the Force to be killed while on duty.
He is buried at Fort Walsh, Saskatchewan, now a national historic site.
His troop mates erected a memorial stone at the Beechwood Cemetery.
