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 D'EL-ALAMEIN Egypte
El-Alamein est un village qui contourne la principale route côtière à environ 130 kilomètres à l'ouest d'Alexandrie en allant vers Marsa-Matrouh.
Le premier panneau de signalisation de la Commission est situé juste au-delà de la gendarmerie et ceux qui désirent visiter le cimetière doivent quitter la route principale et prendre la vieille route côtière, qui est parallèle à la première. Le cimetière et le monument commémoratif se trouvent tous les deux de l'autre côté de la crête montagneuse. On aperçoit les panneaux à environ 25 mètres avant la grille d'entrée métallique et les murs de pierre en aile qui sont situés de façon centralisée sur le bord de la route à la tête du sentier menant à l'édifice commémoratif et jusque dans le cimetière. La Croix du Sacrifice est visible de la route.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
