This monument, constructed by the members of the Senior Non-Commissioned Officers' Mess, is centred on two lances presented to the regiment by Warrant Officer R. Davies, a former Squadron Sergeant-Major with the Fort Garry Horse. The wall hanging incorporates the regimental motto and the battle honours won during the North West Rebellion and the First and Second World Wars. The plaque bears a large metal copy of the regimental cap badge.
