The Marine Cemetery in Vladivostok, a Commonwealth War Graves Commission site, contains the graves of 14 Canadians alongside British, French, Czecho-Slovak and Japanese troops who died during the Siberian Intervention and a monument to Allied soldiers buried in various locations in Siberia. The Commonwealth portion of the cemetery was neglected during the Soviet era; a Canadian naval vessel restored the cemetery in the 1990s. In 1996 a Canadian squadron of warships visited Vladivostok. During the visit sailors from HMCS Protecteur assisted by members of the Russian Navy, replaced headstones and generally repaired the graves of Canadians buried in a local cemetery.
