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.

MONUMENT COMMÉMORATIF DE HALIFAX Nova Scotia, Canada
Ce Monument commémoratif, érigé au parc de Point Pleasant dans la capitale de la Nouvelle-Écosse, est l'un des rares hommages concrets aux hommes disparus en mer. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la Marine royale du Canada perdit vingt-quatre navires et près de deux mille membres de ses effectifs.
Le Monument fut érigé par la Commonwealth War Graves Commission et inauguré en novembre 1967 selon les traditions navales, par M. H.P. MacKeen, lieutenant-gouverneur de la Nouvelle-Écosse, en présence de M. R. Teillet, alors ministre des Affaires des anciens combattants.
Le Monument est formé d'une grande croix du Sacrifice en granit, de douze mètres de haut, que peuvent facilement voir tous les navires qui approchent du port de Halifax. La croix est montée sur une grande plate-forme de granit portant 23 panneaux de bronze sur lesquels sont gravés les noms de plus de trois mille hommes et femmes qui périrent en mer.
L'inscription, en français et en anglais, se lit ainsi :
1918-1945
