George Hill’s monument at Lachute features a triumphant bare-headed soldier, his right hand raised in glorious victory, the soldier’s trusty Lee-Enfield on which the left hand rests. The Canadian Tommy has triumphed, he has come though, he rejoices in the thrill of victory.

This memorial, a bronze statue on a granite shaft, has been erected by the township of Argenteuil in honour of those who died during the First World War. The sculpture is the work of George W. Hill.

George William Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, in 1861. He learned to carve marble in his father’s company, after he graduated from college. Between 1889 and 1894, he left Quebec to study sculpting at the École nationale des beaux-arts and Académie Julian in Paris. When he returned to Montreal, he opened a studio and worked with architect Robert Findlay and brothers Edward and William S. Maxwell. Known for his public monuments and war memorials, he is now considered one of the most important Canadian sculptors of the early twentieth century.

Hill designed several monuments commemorating Canadians lost in the South African War, including the Strathcona and South African Soldiers' Memorial in Quebec and Boer War Soldiers Monument in Ontario. At the end of the First World War, Hill was awarded several contracts by towns and cities wishing to pay homage to citizens who had died on the battlefields. Between 1920 and 1930 he designed these monuments: Westmount Cenotaph, Magog Cenotaph, Argenteuil Cenotaph, Richmond Cenotaph, Sherbrooke War Memorial in Quebec; Pictou County War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldier's Monument, The Soldier and Nurses’ Memorial in Ontario; and the Soldier's Monument in Prince Edward Island.

LA BATAILLE DU LONG-SAULT
THE FIGHT AT THE LONG SAULT

Le 2 mai 1660, 16 Français et environ 40 Hurons, commandés par Dollard des Ormeaux, improvisèrent un fort près d'ici, au Long-Sault, sur la rivière des Outaouais. Ils prirent en embuscade 200 chasseurs Onantagués que rejoignirent environ 500 Agniers et Onneiouts. Après une semaine de combat, la troupe de Dollard fut exterminée, tandis que les Iroquois perdirent 19 des leurs. Ce printemps-là, les Iroquois ne harcelèrent pas les villages du Saint-Laurent et, en juin, les arrivages de fourrures des pays d'en haut atteignirent Montréal. Dollard devint, aux yeux de ses contemporains, le sauveur de la colonie.

Near here, in an improvised fort at the Long-Sault of the Ottawa River, on 2 May 1660, Adam Dollard des Ormeaux, with 16 Frenchmen and about 40 Hurons, waylaid 200 Onondoga hunters. In the ensuing fight, which lasted a week, the Onondaga were joined by about 500 Mohawks and Oneidas who had been gathering on the St. Lawrence. Dollard's party was wiped out, while the Iroquois lost 19 men. That Spring the Iroquois did not harass the St. Lawrence settlements, and in June the first furs in several years reached Montréal from the pays d'en haut. Dollard's contemporaries regarded him as the saviour of the colony.
