Three identical bronze memorial plaques were cast in 1967 by the officers and sailors of the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy Reserve as a tribute to a great and gallant sailor – warrior. The first plaque was erected at the southernmost edge of Point Pleasant Park in Halifax, Nova Scotia looking out to sea. The second was mounted at St. Paul’s Church in Esquimalt, British Columbia and the third was on the quarterdeck of HMCS Hunter 1st.

When HMCS Hunter 1st was paid off in 2014, the plaque was relocated to the new HMCS Hunter 2nd. However, after 55 years, the plaque needed a refit before being displayed in the new facility, a project that was taken on by the Royal Canadian Naval Association Admiral Hose Branch in collaboration with the command team in HMCS Hunter.

Rear-Admiral Hose resided in Windsor from 1950 until his passing in 1965. He was a frequent visitor and guest at HMCS Hunter during those years. Six Chief Petty Officers from HMCS Hunter were the pallbearers at his naval funeral in Windsor. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Naval Association Windsor Branch which was renamed Admiral Hose Branch following his passing. Hose was a staunch supporter of youth groups, especially the Sea Cadet Corps.

This memorial recalls a historic injustice Canadians should pause to remember, as we recall the First World War and the valour of all those Canadian men, and some women, who served. It is a tribute to mark the memory of the thousands of "enemy aliens" who had their civil rights stripped, and were subsequently imprisoned during Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920, following the implementation of the War Measures Act. 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the War Measures Act - adopted on August 22, 1914 during the First World War. It was used to imprison Ukrainian-Canadians, and other ethnic groups, including German, Hungarian, Serbian, Croatian, and Armenian communities, into one of Canada's 24 internment camps.

Dr. Lubomyr Luciuk, a professor at the Royal Military College of Canada and former chair of the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association (UCCLA), had taken it upon himself to lead the way and organize the memorial. In the CTO ("One Hundred") project, 100 aluminum plaques were simultaneously unveiled at 100 different locations across the country at 11:00am local time on August 22, 2014. The first plaque was unveiled in Amherst, Nova Scotia, followed by a wave of plaque unveilings moved west, from province to province, culminating in Nanaimo, British Columbia. The plaques, which cost $1,000 to make, were funded by the generosity of the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Interment Recognition Fund.

Each plaque features a photo of internment prisoners confined behind a wire fence at the Castle Mountain Internment Camp in Banff, Alberta. The Castle Camp, which was built in 1915 at the base of Castle Mountain, was a Canadian internment camp which held immigrant prisoners of Ukrainian, Austrian, Hungarian, and German descent.

Major FA Tilston VC Armoury is named in honour of Major Frederick Albert Tilston, VC. Completed in 1902 as the new home for the 21st Essex Fusiliers, it replaced the old wooden barracks that were in place at what is now City Hall Square. An impressive building with its Romanesque design, the armoury is the only of its kind in Essex County.

It later became the home of the Essex Scottish, and later still, the Essex-Kent Scottish Regiment. It was also the home of the Windsor Regiment of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, and army cadet groups. The armoury was officially named after Major Tilston, after his passing in 1994, and used until 2004, when a new armoury was completed in the city's west end. Ownership was passed to the city administration, and later to the University of Windsor, who are currently renovating the armoury for future academic use.

Frederick Albert Tilston was born in Toronto, Ontario on 11 June 1906. He served with The Essex Scottish Regiment in the Second World War. Before he was awarded the Victoria Cross, Tilston had been wounded twice: the first time while in training, and the second time by a land mine during the fighting around Falaise in France in the summer of 1944.
