Placentia Bay Veterans Cenotaph
Body Content

The Placentia Bay Veterans Cenotaph was unveiled August 8, 2016, during a special ceremony as a conclusion to the Voices of Placentia Bay Festival. The cenotaph is in an garden once used by Presentation nuns as a place of prayer and meditation. The cenotaph is a tribute to those from all the current and former communities of Placentia Bay who served in the First World War, Second World War, Korean War and peacekeeping missions. 

The dedication was organized by the Festival of Flags, a community service organization, in partnership with the Town of Placentia and the Doctor William Collingwood Memorial Branch 33 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Placentia. The cenotaph was designed by Tract Consulting, erected by Collins Contracting Ltd. and funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs and a community contribution. It is the result of a research project jointly started in 2008 by the Placentia Royal Canadian Legion and the Festival of Flags and assisted by The Rooms, Memorial University and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

As soon as the First World War ended, discussions began on how to honour Newfoundland and Labrador's war dead and it was felt that a national war memorial was needed. The Patriotic Association and the Great War Veterans' Association worked together to find a way to "give expression to its gratitude and respect for those who during the Great War served King and Empire". In 1920, these associations jointly recommended the building of both a national war monument and a school as memorials.

The Newfoundland National War Memorial represents the war effort of Newfoundlanders who were not part of Confederation during either of the World Wars. Its construction was paid for in part by community fundraising by the Great War Veterans’ Association and its maintenance falls under the responsibility of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. The memorial has the famous old harbour as its backdrop, where troops departed and returned from the war. It commemorates all of Newfoundland's wartime achievements on land and sea.

Designed by British artists Gilbert Bayes and Ferdinand Victor Blundstone, the female allegorical sculpture, often referred to as Victory, Liberty, or the Spirit of Newfoundland, sits on a granite pedestal. She holds a flaming torch in her left hand, high above her head. The torch, which symbolizes freedom, is the memorial’s highest point, prioritizing freedom as a central motivation for Newfoundland’s wartime contributions. The flaming torch was originally intended to be a leading light for ships entering St. John’s Harbour through the Narrows, although it was never used as such. In her right hand, she holds a sword which represents both Newfoundland’s willingness to serve during the First World War and their loyalty to the British Empire. The sword is below her waist, but not completely lowered, and poised for battle, and is meant to depict that while the war is over, Newfoundland was, and is, ready and willing to fight for its freedom and liberty.

The female sculpture rises above four lifelike bronze figures of a sailor from the Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve, a lumberman from the Forestry Corps, a fisherman in oilskins and Wellington boots from the Mercantile Marine, and a soldier from Royal Newfoundland Regiment, providing a tangible connection to Newfoundland and Labrador and those who served overseas and on the home front. 

On the front of the monument below the figures are five plaques commemorating Newfoundland and Labrador’s contributions in different conflicts. In the center, the original 1924 plaque honours those killed during the First World War. Plaques dedicated to those fallen in the Second World War, Korean War, Afghanistan, and the War of 1812 were added later. The monument is at the back of a semicircular wall of granite approached by wide stone steps. Flowers in stone urns flank the approach and fine shade trees have been planted about the dais.

In 2019, it was designated a National Historic Site based on the artistic significance and the fact that the memorial was inspired by John McCrae’s famous poem, In Flanders Fields. The Newfoundland National War Memorial was unveiled on July 1, 1924, fifteen years before the National War Memorial was built in Ottawa.

Britain's "oldest colony" sent 8,500 soldiers and sailors abroad in the First World War, out of a population of less than 250,000, over 1,500 gave their lives. The memorial was unveiled by Field Marshall Haig on the anniversary of Newfoundland's great First World War battle at Beaumont Hamel. Since joining Canada in 1949 as the tenth province, Newfoundland not only observes Canada Day on July 1 each year; they also remember Beaumont-Hamel.

The memorial underwent a $6-million refurbishment by the Bay Roberts company Can-Am Platforms and Construction ahead of the 100th anniversary of the cenotaph in 2024. A portion of a tomb arrived on April 9, 2024, that will become the final resting place of an unknown First World War soldier on July 1, 2024. The Tomb of an unknown Newfoundland First World War soldier is the centerpiece of the refurbishment project, which was overseen by the provincial Transportation and Infrastructure Department and is the second of its kind in Canada.

Erected by 444 Squadron, this memorial is in memory of Rescue 420 personnel Captain Juli-Ann Dawn Mackenzie and Captain Colin Joseph Sonoski. Both died in a crash returning from a search and rescue mission for a missing boat on 18 July 2002 approximately 40 nautical miles north of Goose Bay. Two other crew members were injured.

The crew started their return when the tail rotor departed the aircraft. About 400 meters down track, the aircraft crashed into hilly, tree-covered terrain and both pilots were killed instantly. Search and Rescue Technician Mario Michaud and Flight Engineer David Pawulski were seriously injured. Despite his injuries, David administered first aid to his crewmate and used a satellite phone to report the accident to Rescue Coordination Centre Halifax. Within three hours a 444 Squadron rescue helicopter arrived and evacuated the survivors to medical facilities.

The memorial signifies strength and hope, pointing to heaven. The base indicates the support network of friends and family that surround us all. The trees are the cardinal points - north, south, east and west, providing us direction.

Winston Dominie, who noticed the chalice was missing in 2015, applied for funds to restore the monument through the Canadian monument restoration fund. Dominie worked with the Legion, local residents and ministers, to plan a rededication service that saw the addition of 44 more names to the monument. Cpl. Shawn Hatcher, who is the last known soldier recorded having died, and his name will be added to the monument. The rededication ceremony took place on Aug. 7, 2016 at 3 p.m., part of it inside the church and part of it outside for the unveiling. The details included a parade, invites to dignitaries, readings and the laying of a wreath.

The Dallas Square Cenotaph was built in 1921 by the Great War Veteran’s Association of Nanaimo to commemorate local men who died during the First World War. It was unveiled on November 7, 1921. The design was based on an ancient Egyptian model and it was created and executed by local monument works owner C.E.J. Millins.

Names of those who died during the Second World War were added later. Plaques were added to acknowledge the Korean War and Merchant Navy.

This cenotaph was initially installed in 1956 by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 24 at 111 Church Street. This memorial was erected to replace earlier memorials dating back to 1917. The memorial also honours 5 members of the Adie family of St Catharines who served in the First World War including 3 sons who lost their lives. The cenotaph was moved to City Hall in 2016.

PEACEKEEPING

From all across Canada they came;
from coast to coast to coast.

There was no cry for victory on their lips,
only a prayer for peace.

They sought not to impose their way,
only to preserve those most illusive ideals:
peace and humanity.

They protected the lives
of those who could not protect themselves.

Some came home broken.
Some came home not at all.

For all of those who stood their ground,
We stand for them.

PEACEKEEPING

De tout le Canada, les Canadiens viurent;
d'un océan à l'autre.

Il n'y avait aucun cri de victoire sur leurs lèvres,
mais qu'une prière pour la paix.

Ils n'ont pas voulu s'imposer,
seulement préserver ces idéaux insaisissables :
paix et humanité.

Ils protégérent les vies de ceux
qui ne pouvaient se protéger.

Certains revinrent brisés.
Certains ne reveinrent pas du tout.

Pour tous ceux qui ont pris garde pour leur poisition,
Nous prenons garde pour eux.

When it comes to peacekeeping, Peterborough has a connection with Lester B. Pearson, the first Canadian to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his pioneering vision in helping establish a United Nations force during the Suez Crisis of the 1950s. Pearson lived in Peterborough as a youth where he attended Peterborough Collegiate Vocational School.

The UN Peacekeepers Monument Project was developed in partnership between the City of Peterborough and the Frank Poley (Peterborough) chapter of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping to commemorate the sacrifices of 132 Canadian peacekeepers and two diplomats who gave their lives in the service of peace. In 2017, Toronto’s Studio F Minus' design was selected from a nation-wide call for proposals to design the monument.

The monument consists of two 14-foot mirrored pillars with a blue square embedded at the top of each. This creates a hall of mirrors effect when an observer stands between them. Peacekeepers have to cross invisible borders. The blue square turns into a dotted line and dotted lines on maps represent borders between countries, so you are actually crossing a border as you come through. The blue dotted line appears to float in the air.

Inscribed on the monument is a quote from William Steedman, former case manager of the Peterborough Constituency Office and a long-time advocate for Veterans who worked on the memorial project for 14 years. UN Peacekeepers Monument was unveiled on 1 July 2022.
