MacGregor honors its fallen heroes with a December 1 1920 ceremony unveiling a white Italian marble statue of a soldier on guard. Speakers including Capt J P MacKinnon praise the dead and veterans as donors, families, and local organizations gather for the solemn tribute.
A 17 foot monument erected at Union Church, costing about $3,000, stood as the centerpiece of a ceremony at two o'clock. Rev Fleming spoke of bravery learned in France and urged ongoing patriotic work. C. E. Copeland of St Paul’s Circle lauded the memory of the fallen and recited In Flanders Fields.
The monument was supplied by the Hooper Marble Company Wasnipex through their local agent W. H. McGregor. It marks a commemorative site and reflects the collaboration between the company and the community in presenting the tribute.
A garbled OCR fragment cites David Lloyd George about care for the land and healing. It mentions spiritual over material goods, wounds of the world, and a line about healing and brothers crossing a cross. The text is incomplete and unclear.
