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 1200 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.

This poem was written by Sister Kathleen Celine Hector (the eldest sister of Donal Kevin Joseph Hector) on the night the family got news of his plane gone missing over Essen Germany.
It is a beautiful piece of art and a lovely poem and tribute to her brother and one I would love to share with the world.
My mother Maureen Constance (Hector) Zalusky gave it to me after her death.

Il existe une autre alternative : À partir de l'autoroute 57, prenez la sortie pour Kleve/Goch, laquelle vous mènera sur la 9N en direction de Kleve. Après avoir parcouru 3 kilomètres, tournez sur la 504 en direction de Kranenburg. Le cimetière de Reichswald est clairement annoncé sur la 504 au carrefour Grunewald.
