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 HOLTEN Pays-Bas
Holten est un village qui se situe 20 kilomètres à l'est de la ville de Deventer, sur la route principale A1 reliant Amsterdam à Brême en Allemagne. Après avoir dépassé l'autoroute A1, quittez la route à l'intersection Holten qui débouche sur la N322. Lorsque vous apercevez un panneau indiquant la direction de Holten, continuez sur la N322 jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un panneau pour Holtenberg. Suivez ces panneaux jusqu'à ce que vous arriviez à un carrefour giratoire où vous verrez un panneau de la Commission qui dirige les visiteurs vers Molenberterweg. Cette route mène à la première droite sur la Holtenbergerweg. La Holtenbergerweg conduit à une piste non-métallique appelée Wullenbergweg. Après avoir suivi la piste jusqu'au bout, tournez à gauche et le cimetière s'étend sur 50 mètres sur le côté gauche.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
