The Great Stone of Remembrance was unveiled at the Field of Honour in Brookside Cemetery by the Honourable Duff Roblin, Premier of the Province of Manitoba on 2 October 1960. It was designed by the famous British Architect, Sir E.L. Lutyens, A.R.A., and provided by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission in cooperation with the City of Winnipeg Board of Parks and Recreation, to commemorate the memory of members of the Armed Services of the Commonwealth, who served their country in the First and Second World Wars.
This is the only Commonwealth War Graves Commission 'Stone of Remembrance' in Canada.
