THE 46TH BATTALION, CEF MEMORIAL
The 46th Battalion's Memorial pictured below is located in Administration Square on the grounds of the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon.
A large number of men who served in the 46th were associated with the University. The members of the Battalion who were associated
with the University have their names inscribed on the walls of the Memorial Union Building (MUB) on Campus as well as on the Memorial Gates
at the entrance to the Main Campus.
The copy of the memorial Bronze located in the the Lt.Col. D.V. Currie VC Armoury in Moose Jaw is the original plaster cast from which the Bronze
Memorial was made. The process of making the Bronze Plaque included the making of the plaster cast and then making a reverse image of the
plaster cast in very fine sand resulting in a perfect mould. After carefully removing the plaster mould from the sand the Bronze was poured into the
mould creating the Memorial pictured below.
For many years the plaster copy languished in the armoury and was in very poor condition. In 2005 it was refurbished, framed and placed on display.

In Memory of

781446, "C" Coy. 28th Bn., Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewan
Regiment)
who died age 20
on 07 November 1917
Son of Samuel and Ida Belle McKibben, of Model Farm,
Saskatchewan. Born Perham, Otter Tall County, Minnesota, U.S.A.
Remembered with honour
NINE ELMS BRITISH CEMETERY
Commemorated in perpetuity by
the Commonwealth War Graves Commission

Dead Man's Penny of
# 781446 Pte. Robert Roy McKibben
In 1918 it was decided to recognize
the valour of each solidier killed during the
war. One million large bronze medallions and
a Letter of Condolence from His Majesty the
King were sent to families throughout
the Empire.
The images are based on the mythical tragic
love story of Pyrmus and Thisbe. The image
is that of Thisbe, holding Neptune’s Trident
in one hand, and a Laurel Wreath in the
other and a Lion walks beside Thisbe.
The Soldier’s name was inscribed on the
medallion. No rank was included as everyone
was equal in death.
In typical soldier’s fashion for creating
Names for things the medallion soon came
to be known as the Dead Man’s penny.
