"Above the door of y the chamber is engraved: 'All's well, for 'over there among his i peers a happy warrior sleeps." : > "These words reveal the inner meaning of what we do to-day. They tell us that, beautiful and impressive as is the memorial at Ottawa, the Canadian people could not feel that it was complete. Y It was 'over there' that the Canadian armies fought and died. It is 'over there' that their final monument must stand. "To-day, thousands of miles from the shores of Canada, we ho are assembled around the monumet, Yet we are not on alien 4 BN soil! One of our English poets wrote that where he lay would ; be 'for ever England'--that England for which he died. e spoke r a parable; but, here to-day that parable is living truth. The realization of it will, I know; bring comfort to many thousand Canadian men and women. 5 "For this glorious monument, crowing the hill of Vimy, is. now, and for all time, a part of Canada, Though the mortal re-- ; mains of Canada's sons be far from home, yet here where we now hi | stand in ancient Artois their immortal memory is hallowed, upon yv S soil that is -as surely Canada's as any acre within her nine hb provinces, : : "By a gesture which all can understand, the soldiers especial- ) - -|1y, the laws of France have decreed that here Canada shall stand HA for ever, We raise this Memorial to Canadian warriors, H is the i Tinspired expression in stone, chiselled by a skilful Canadian hand, of Canada's salute to her fallen sons, "It marks the scene of feats of arms which history will long Bd remember, and Canada can never forget. The ground it covers is ; i the gift of France to Canada. EI "All the world over, there are battlefields, the names of which | are written indelibly on the pages of our troubled human story. : "A It is one of the consolations which time brings that deeds of ~~ ~~ | valour done on those battlefields long survive the quarrels which ; «a ry a [7% drove the opposing hosts to conflict, 7 "Vimy will be one such name, = Already the scars of war have Lich well-nigh -vanished from the fair landscape spread beneath us... _ Around us here to-day there is peace and the rebuilding of hope. "And so, also, in dedicating this memorial to our fallen com- RA rades, our thoughts turn rather to the splendour of their sacrifice and to the censetration of our love for r them, than to the cannon- ade which beat upon this ridge a score of years ago. ; "In that spirit, in the spirit of thankfulness for their example, - of reverence, for their devotion, and-of pride in their comradeship, I unveil this memorial to Canada's dead." When he read the words "I unveil this monument to Canada's : dead", the King stepped to the side of the dais and pulled the cord. : : ; The flags dropped slowly to the grass beneath. 8 'The King .and the Prgsident laid wreaths on the Memorial. ' 5 After they had left, Lady Currie and Lady Byng deposited theirs. - ~~ Wl and they were followed by members of the Canadian Legion and : : It is estimated that some 400 wreaths in all were _-- [8 the pilgrims. laid. Standing on what was known as Hill 145, the highest point of | the battlefield, the Memorial is visible for many miles across the Douai Plain, 'At night it will be perpetually floodlit. . Two pylons rise from a platform defended first by. enclosing: walls and then by lower walls which are imbeded in.the Ridge itself. Stone has been used for the Memorial from the same quarry (in what is now Yugoslavia) to build the palace of Diocletian, in Spalato. Its two main pylons stand 138 feet on a base 237 feet long.. It weighs some 30,000 tons. The base represents impregnable walls of de- 3 fence and by these stand groups, one showing the Breaking of the - Sword and the other-the Sympathy of the Canadians for the Help- less. Above the groups are the mouths of guns covered with olive and laurels; and on the wall stands Canada herself brooding over the graves of her valiant dead. Below is suggested a grave with a helmet and laurels. - Behind her are the two pylons which sym- the French and Canadian forces. "Between these at the base is the Spirit of Sacrifice which, giving all, throws the torch to a comrade. - Looking up they see "the-figures of Peace, Justice, i Truth and Knowledge for which they fought, chanting the Hymn -F of Peace. Around the figures are the shields of Britain, Canada, : and France. On the outside of the pylons is the Cross. On the walls are inscribed the names of 11,285 missing Can-- adians followed by this inscription: "Here ends the roll of 11,285" Canadans 'who gave their lives in the Great War but the site of whose graves is unknown. The whole number of these is 18283 - The names not recorded here are engraved on the Meirorial to the Armies of the British Empire at the Menin Gate of Ypres." - (To be continued) Be oi NOTE would suggest that all who can visit the Library and see "The Illustrated London News" for August 1st. You will fh find splendid pictures of Vimy on pages 179, 189, 190, 191, 192, 192, and 212.
