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 du col d’Argenta Italie
Le CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DU COL D'ARGENTA se situe dans la commune d'Argenta dans la province de Ferrare dans les terres agricoles basses et plates de la vallée du Pô.
La ville d'Argenta est à environ 105 kilomètres au sud de Venise et à 2 kilomètres au sud du cimetière sur la route achalandée reliant Ravenne à Ferrare (Route no 16). Si le visiteur approche le cimetière par le sud, il doit tourner à droite juste avant d'atteindre la ville d'Argenta, descendre la Strada di Circonvallazione et dépasser la gare à droite. Il doit ensuite prendre le deuxième virage à droite et, après avoir traversé la voie ferrée, continuer jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive à une bifurcation où il devra encore une fois tourner à droite. Il trouvera alors le virage qui mène au cimetière un peu plus loin à gauche près d'une ferme.
Si le visiteur approche le CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DU COL D'ARGENTA par le nord, il doit effectuer un virage prononcé à gauche sur la route principale au premier carrefour situé aux limites de la ville, puis un troisième virage à gauche qui mènera au passage à niveau susmentionné.
Le cimetière est ouvert en permanence et peut être visité en dehors des heures de travail du personnel local d'entretien des jardins mais sans surveillance.
Les heures de travail du personnel local d'entretien des jardins sont les suivantes :
À partir du premier lundi d'avril :
Lundi au jeudi : 7 h 30 à 12 h 00 et 13 h 00 à 16 h 45
Vendredi : 7 h 30 à 12 h 00 et 13 h 00 à 15 h 30
À partir du premier lundi d'octobre :
Lundi au jeudi : 8 h 00 à 12 h 00 et 13 h 00 à 16 h 00
Vendredi : 8 h 00 à 12 h 00 et 13 h 00 à 15 h 00
