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.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE BRETTEVILLE-SUR-LAIZE Calvados, France
Le cimetière se trouve du côté ouest de la route principale entre Caen et Falaise (N158) au nord du village de Cintheaux. Bretteville-sur-Laize, village et commune du Calvados, est à environ 16 km au sud de Caen. Le village de Bretteville est à 3 km au sud-ouest du cimetière. Les personnes inhumées ici sont mortes au cours des derniers assauts en Normandie, de la capture de Caen et de l'offensive vers le sud (menée d'abord par la 4e Division blindée canadienne et la 1re Division blindée polonaise) en vue de fermer la trouée de Falaise et d'encercler ainsi les divisions allemandes qui menaient une lutte désespérée pour éviter d'être coincées à l'ouest de la Seine. La plupart des unités du 2e Corps d'armée canadien sont représentées dans le cimetière. Environ 3000 victimes de la guerre de 1939-1945 sont commémorées ici.
