Olds Cemetery Field of Honour Memorial Cairn

This memorial is dedicated to the memory of the men and women who served our country in War and Peace. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion. A project for the placement of a monument, to serve as a memorial to the memory of those who served their country in time of war and peace, was approved by the members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Olds Branch #105 in the fall of 1996. Approval by the Olds Town Council was received, and planning and designing commenced in the spring of 1997. After many hours of research, a cross designed by Ches Pye of Remco Memorials was adopted. Construction was started in the spring of 1998, and the monument known as the Cross of Sacrifice was unveiled and dedicated by His Worship Alan Taylor, Mayor of the Town of Olds on July 1, 1998.
