The Memorial Tower is graced with murals created by Ken Lochhead, Director of Art at Regina College from 1950 to 1964. Tracing Saskatchewan’s military history, the murals are divided into eight wall sections and were officially presented in a special service by his Honour the Lieutenant-Governor W.J. Patterson in 1954.
This section was designed on the theme “Lest We Forget” which relates to the Memorial Tower and its purpose. Depicted is a military prairie burial ground leading up to and surrounding a group of figures on Remembrance Day. Members of the three branches of the Canadian Armed Forces stand in uniform with their hands resting on the butt end of a reversed rifle. Sitting nearby on the ground are the grieving next of kin of the fallen.
