“What Price Victory” Memorial Sculpture

This sculpture, “What Price Victory”, depicts a Canadian Infantry sergeant in France shortly after the D-Day landings. He is down on one knee, holding on to his Lee-Enfield .303 cal rifle, his head is bowed and tears are streaming down his cheeks. While high headquarters count causalities in bulk numbers, the loss of a mate is far more personal at the platoon level; this sergeant is grieving the loss of his latest platoon member killed in action. It was unveiled in March 2013, and is dedicated to Canadian infantry personnel who served in combat operations.
