Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

In 1925, the officers of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) presented a centerpiece to the Officers' Mess as a memorial to the officers killed in the First World War. It consists of a silver statuette of a Strathcona in ceremonial dress mounted on a horse.
