The Soldiers' Tower was built by the University of Toronto Alumni Association in 1924 as a memorial to the Great War of 1914-1918. The names of those who died in that conflict are carved on the Memorial Screen at photo left. After the Second World War, more names were carved in the Memorial Arch at the Tower's base. In total, almost 1,200 names are inscribed. A Memorial Room inside the Tower contains mementoes and artifacts, and a 51-bell carillon serves as the audio element of the living memorial to the alumni, students, faculty and staff who died in the World Wars. The Soldiers' Tower is the site of an annual Service of Remembrance. Photo: Kathy Parks, Alumni Relations.

Monument commémoratif de Cassino Italie
Le cimetière de guerre de Cassino est dans la commune de Cassino, dans la province de Frosinone, à 139 kilomètres au sud-est de Rome. Il est situé dans la vallée de la Liri immédiatement en-dessous des éperons se trouvant au sud de l'Apennin central. Plus bas, à un kilomètre, se dresse la colline où est érigée l'abbaye du mont Cassin, fondée par St. Benedict en l'an 529 sur le site d'un ancien temple d'Apollon.
Si vous empruntez la route pour vous rendre au cimetière de guerre de Cassino, suivez l'autoroute A2 allant de Rome à Naples et prenez la sortie pour Cassino. Après avoir dépassé les postes de péage, suivez le panneau indiquant Cassino. Aux feux de circulation, tournez à droite après un immeuble à appartements en direction de la localité de San Angelo et vous apercevrez alors les panneaux de la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
