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.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE BÉNY-SUR-MER Calvados, France
Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer est à environ 1 km à l'est du village de Reviers, sur la route de Creully-Tailleville-Ouistreham (D35). Reviers est un village et une commune du Calvados, à 15 km au nord-est de Caen, à 18 km à l'est de Bayeux et à 3,5 km au sud de Courseulles, un village sur la Manche. Le village de Bény-sur-Mer se trouve à environ 2 km au sud-est du cimetière. L'autocar entre Caen et Arromanches (via Reviers et Ver-sur-Mer) passe devant le cimetière.
C'est un peu au nord, sur la côte, qu'est débarquée la 3e Division du Canada le 6 juin 1944 et que 335 officiers et soldats ont été tués au combat ou sont morts de leurs blessures. Dans ce cimetière reposent les Canadiens qui ont péri lors du débarquement en Normandie et au cours des premières étapes de la campagne qui a suivi.
Les Canadiens qui sont morts vers la fin des combats en Normandie sont inhumés au cimetière militaire canadien de Bretteville-sur-Laize. Le cimetière militaire canadien de Bény-sur-Mer compte 2048 sépultures, ainsi qu'un monument spécial érigé à la mémoire d'un soldat du Corps canadien d'infanterie dont on sait qu'il a été inhumé ici, mais dont la tombe n'a jamais pu être trouvée.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
