Canada’s National War Memorial worth the wait
The National War Memorial in Ottawa honors Canadians who died in the Great War, World War II, and the Korean War. After a 14 year delay from the first call for designs in 1925, Vernon March’s monument was unveiled in 1939 by King George VI and later rededicated in 1982. The project featured bronze figures shipped from London and a granite arch built by E.G.M. Cape and Company, with night lighting donated by the Royal Canadian Legion.
