Since the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, Canadian soldiers killed in the line of duty and veterans of war can be buried at the National Military Cemetery in Ottawa. The cemetery inspired a classic Canadian poem "In Beechwood Cemetery" by Archibald Lampman with its memorable final line, "They know no season but the end of time."
