537 NAMES

"So they gave their bodies to the
Commonwealth and received, each for
his memory, praise that will never die,
and with it the noblest sepulchre - not
the spot where the bones are laid,

This Roll of Honour lists names of Winnipeg City employees who enlisted in the Second World War. On July 15, 1946, the Committee on Legislation and Reception made a formal recommendation in Council that such an honour roll be made and the recommendation was forwarded to Mayor Coulter. John D. Duthie completed the Roll of Honour in 1947.

It hung in City Hall until transferred to the Archives for safekeeping. This Roll of Honour consists of 537 hand painted names of City of Winnipeg employees who served in the Second World War. The names are organized by the department they worked in and stars are placed next to the names of those who died during the war. The title at the top consists of calligraphy, as well as a Union Jack flag rising out of the letters. The center of the print showcases an image of a knight's helmet and a sheathed sword above an image of the City of Winnipeg seal. The bottom features a quote from the ancient Greek leader Pericles.

This tank, Model M4A2 76mm (W) HVSS serial number 69139 was built by the Fisher Tank Division, of General Motors, Detroit Michigan, in April of 1945. The Canadian Army had used earlier versions of the Sherman in Italy and Northwest Europe from 1943, but these tanks were disposed of in Europe at the end of the war. In 1946, to equip the post-war Canadian Army, 300 M4A2 Shermans were purchased from the USA at a cost of $1,460 each. They served with the Regular Force until the adoption of the Centurion tank in 1958 with the last ones retired in 1970. A number of them became range targets and several become monuments such as this one.

In 2021, the Manitoba government unveiled the latest round of projects from the Military Memorial Conservation Grant program. The Royal Canadian Legion Charleswood Branch 100 was granted $13,700 for the conservation of the Sherman tank.

The vehicle carries the marking of The Fort Garry Horse (Militia) for the period 1946-1959.

Arm of Service Sign - the left front and left rear carry the arm of service sign of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. A square with red and yellow halves, divided diagonally. Above, a 2-inch white bar carries the unit’s abbreviated name “FGH (M)”.

Formation Sign - the right front and right rear carry the Prairie Command shield. Prairie Command was the organization responsible for Saskatchewan, Manitoba and NW Ontario. After 1959, Prairie Command was absorbed by Western Command, and the Green Western Command flash was carried until 1968 and the unification of the Canadian Forces.

Unit Name - in the mid-1950’s the unit name in the form “FORT GARRY HORSE (M)” was added to the sides of the vehicles located in Winnipeg for recruiting purposes.

Turret Markings - a yellow triangle on the turret indicated “A” Squadron of the regiment. A square was used to indicate B Squadron, a Circle for C Squadron, and a Diamond for D Squadron.

Memorial Provincial Park was originally the site of the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Science. When the University amalgamated its campus in the Fort Garry location in the 1950s, this site was slated to become the home of the new city hall for Winnipeg. Noting the presence of a First World War cenotaph on the site, a number of Legion branches petitioned for the site to instead become a memorial park. In addition to the First World War cenotaph, the park would recognize the sacrifices made by Canadian Military personnel during the Second World War.

In 1961, the province, which already owned an adjacent parcel of land, acquired the site from the city. Former premier Duff Roblin envisioned Memorial Provincial Park as "a fitting tribute to those who gave their lives for Freedom”. The provincial park, including the City Hydro Fountain, is recognized as a Canadian military memorial. Memorial Park was dedicated on September 28, 1962 by Lieutenant Governor Errick Willis and Premier Duff Roblin.

Military memorials in the park include the Stephenson Monument ‘Intrepid’, Women’s Tri-Services Monument and Peacekeepers' Cairn. The Centennial Flame, British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Memorial – Airmen in Training, Cenotaph and flag poles are located outside the park on the Memorial Boulevard center median adjacent to the park.

The City Hydro Fountain is a landmark attraction within the park. The original water feature included a central mechanized fountain, which included sweeping waterscapes and light shows that alluded, in colour and movement, to the northern lights. In 2021, the fountain was reopened after being restored through 2019 - 2020 as part of the massive refurbishment project for Manitoba's 150 celebrations in 2020.

Peacekeeper Cairn was dedicated on 8 August 2004 to honour the nine Canadian Armed Forces members with the United Nations peace mission in Egypt who were killed on 9 August 1974 when their plane was shot down in a Syrian missile attack while making a routine supply run to the mission in the Golan Heights. National Peacekeepers’ Day is observed on the anniversary of this attack which is the greatest single-day loss of Canadian Armed Forces members on international peacekeeping duties.

Originally intended to be the granite rollers for a paper mill, these stone cylinders were repurposed into the cairn. It was designed and constructed by Larsen's Memorial and its total weight is approximately 33,000 pounds. The three pillars represent the strength of the Army, Navy, Air Force and most recently Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They also represent Canada's past, present and future.

All three pillars are beveled to 45 degrees at the top. Its center pillar is 12’ tall with the United Nations medal engraved into the top of the stone to represent all the United Nations missions and not one single medal. The left pillar is 10’ tall and engraved with the obverse side of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal. The right pillar is 8’ tall and has the reverse side of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal engraved on its top. 

The memorial was erected by the LGen RR Crabbe Chapter of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping and the land was donated by the province. Korean War Veteran Norm Van Tassel, President of the LGen RR Crabbe Chapter, and the inspiration behind the creation of the cairn, said the project took a little over two years to complete. It was funded by the City of Winnipeg, Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans associations, Royal Canadian Legion, War Amps of Canada, Jewish War Veterans Association, Portuguese War Veterans, other military groups and private citizens.

The Women's Tri-Service Monument was dedicated on July 4, 1976, in memory of the women that served or gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The 1.83m monument was created by sculptor Helen Granger Young and depicts three women standing back to back in Second World War era military dress. One woman wears the uniform of the Canadian Women's Army Corps, one wears the uniform of the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division, and one wears the uniform of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.

The monument was flown to Winnipeg from Alberta by a Canadian Forces Hercules transport aircraft in early June 1976. It was bronzed at Studio West foundry in Cochrane, Alberta. It was erected by the Women’s Tri-Service Association World War I and World War II Veterans of Winnipeg. The Memorial was later rededicated by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.
