THAMESBATTLE OF THE THAMES
Photo taken from the river bank, Tip your screen,
adjust contrast, etc you can just make out a burial mound.
i.e. mound of dirt covering bodies of soldiers
killed in the battle. History says there were two mounds.
One for each side.
The mound was simply the excess dirt left from after
the burials were covered.
Photo taken in 1909 approximately.
History tells us there was a mound of earth
somewhere closer to Thamesville where the
native fighters were interred.

THAMES BATTLE OF THE THAMES
Possible very old cemetery on the battlefield site,
but IF this is a cemetery, it almost certainly has
NOTHING to do with the battle.
Seems to have burials all laid out in rows, etc.
Caution, found by dowsing and no records yet found of this.

Third possible burial trench on the site.
Might this be native warriors?
THIS AREA MUST BE TREATED WITH RESPECT,
as it MIGHT be a native burial area.
Trenches seem to contain around 28 dead.
Caution, found via dowsing. Note position of monument
to the rear, middle of the photograph.
If you stand on the road looking toward the monument,
this is to the right.
