On June 22, 1924, a Memorial Cross was unveiled at the west side of St. James Cathedral to commemorate the memory of the 46 members of the congregation who had fallen in the First World War. One hundred members of the 10th Regiment Royal Grenadiers attended the unveiling ceremony, which was conducted by Colonel A.H. Borden. The memorial was unveiled by H.C. Scholfield and dedicated by Right Reverend Bishop William Day Reeve.

Designed by architects Sproatt & Rolph, it is imitative of the Eleanor Cross which King Edward I dedicated to his wife Eleanor of Castile in the 13th century. Made from Indiana limestone, the Cross is Gothic in style, consisting of four piers that are square in plan and within the arches is a fan-vaulted ceiling carried out with intricate and delicately detailed tracery. The spire rises above this, embellished with flying buttresses, pinnacles and an open terrace design.

In 1924, Sproatt & Rolph also designed La Malbaie Memorial Cross  Simcoe Carillon Tower and Soldiers' Tower.

Between two of St. Michael’s College's residences — More and Fisher houses — is a passageway that connects Queen’s Park Crescent East and the college quad. The memorials for former students and graduates of St. Michael’s College School, as well as the University of St. Michael’s College in the University of Toronto, who died in the two World Wars and the Korean War are inscribed along the wall.

There are 12 arched sandstone panels:

Panel 1 - St. Michael’s College crest with Motto in Greek.

Panel 2 - Greek lyric fragment by Simonides about those who died in the battle of Thermopylae.

Panel 3 - English translation of panel 2.

Panels 4 and 5 - Names from the First World War in alphabetical order; a cross at the top of each arch.

Panels 6 to 11 - Names from the Second World War in alphabetical order; a cross at the top of each arch.

Panel 12 – One name from the Korean War; a cross at the top of the arch.

Many American students attended St. Michael’s College and some of those shown on the memorial served in the American Forces.

In 1891, a group of men gathered in Toronto intent on forming the city's first Highland regiment. The regiment was designated by the Militia Department with the number "48" and the word "Highlanders" and shortly thereafter Lieutenant-Colonel John Irvine Davidson assumed command of the newly constituted 48th Highlanders of Canada.

The Regiment was gazetted on October 16, 1891, and began to drill at Upper Canada College. It first marched out on the 21 April, 1892, to be greeted by crowds of cheering Torontonians. On the Queen's Birthday that year, the Regiment was presented with its first set of colours by His Excellency Lord Stanley of Preston, the Governor General of Canada.

With Captain John Irvine Davidson as the first commanding officer, the 48th Highlanders of Canada first saw active service in the South African War when 17 Highlanders accompanied the First Canadian contingent overseas. Following the death of Lieutenant-Colonel Davidson in April of 1910, the regiment purchased a large burial lot in Mount Pleasant Cemetery.

Late in the afternoon of Thanksgiving Monday, October 28, 1912, the train bringing 700 troops back to the city from a sham battle that had been held that day near Milton, Ontario, crashed into the Detroit Flyer, a passenger train bound for that American city. The impact at Streetsville Junction was minimal, but one of the cars in which many of the 48th Highlanders were travelling was very old and completely demolished. Two highlanders were killed and 30 were injured. In tribute to the deceased soldiers, Privates Mac Murdock and John Bannatyne, a special monument was prepared for the regiment’s lot. Later, inscriptions were added for the regiment’s battle honours, South African War and the First and Second World Wars.

This monument was moved in 1969 to a more prominent location on the main road into the cemetery, a few yards east of Mount Pleasant Road.

Charles Henry Byce
1916 - 1994

Charles Henry Byce is Canada's most highly-decorated Indigenous
soldier of WWII. His mother was Moose Cree;
his father a WWI hero.

Serving with the Lake Superior Regiment (Motor), Charlie Byce
earned a Military Medal (MM) for valour in January, 1945.
A few weeks later, in fierce combat to advance into Germany,
he made a gallant stand, against hopeless odds. For this, he
received the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM). Very few
Canadians have received both a DCM and MM - remarkably,
Charlie Byce's father, Henry Byce, was one of them.

Charles Henry Byce est le soldat autochtone canadien le
plus hautement décoré de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sa mère
était une Crie de Moose Factory; son père, un héros militaire.

En janvier 1945, Charlie gagne la Médaille militaire (MM)
pour bravoure. Quelques semaines plus tard, démontrant
un courage féroce dans une situation désespérée, il mérite
la Médaille de conduite distinguée (DCM). Seulement quelques
soldats canadiens ont reçu MM et la DCM - remarquablement,
Henry Byce, le père de Charlie Byce, est l'un d'entre eux.

Note: The inscription in Cree at the bottom of the plaque reads: Ash Hey Emashganook Shcobehlo (The war has ended).

The Ontario Native Education Counselling Association, along with strong community support, led the effort to commemorate Charlie Byce. The bronze and granite monument was created by Tyler Fauvelle, a Sudbury-based sculptor and unveiled September 17, 2016.

Sergeant Charlie Byce in his uniform, with his ribbon bars and battle-aged eyes, and we realize that the artwork is telling the story of a hero. There's another story to see, and it's the story of Charlie's Moose Cree heritage. Antlers encircle him - but only in a broken circle, symbolizing what racism and the residential school system did to separate him from his culture. The eagle feather held close to his heart is a tribute to valour, and a reminder that Charles Henry Byce, the son of a proud Cree woman and a First World War hero, never forgot who he was.

Charles Henry Byce was born in Chapleau, Ontario. His mother was Cree, from Moose Factory and his father was a decorated hero of the First World War. Charlie's rebellious spirit was inflamed by the oppression he experienced in the residential school system. He was a teenager when he left Chapleau, eventually joining the army at Port Arthur (Thunder Bay). 

Sergeant Byce served with the Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) - now the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment. He was awarded the British Military Medal for leadership and bravery on the night of January 20, 1945, in Holland. Just a few weeks later, he earned the Distinguished Conduct Medal for extreme bravery in the Hochwald Forest sector, Germany.

"The magnificent courage and fighting spirit displayed by this NCO [non-commissioned officer] when faced with almost insuperable odds are beyond all praise. His gallant stand, without adequate weapons and with a bare handful of men against hopeless odds will remain, for all time, an outstanding example to all ranks of the regiment.”
- from the Distinguished Conduct Medal Citation

The Distinguished Conduct Medal is second only to the Victoria Cross, making Charles Henry Byce one of the most highly-decorated Indigenous soldier in the Canadian Army, Second World War. Very few Canadians have received both a Distinguished Conduct Medal and Military Medal (or its equivalent) - remarkably, Henry Byce, Charlie's father, was one of them.

On June 25, 1978, the cenotaph was relocated from between the old Town Hall and St. John's Anglican Church on Pine Street to its new location beside the Royal Canadian Legion Hall. The unveiling ceremony was conducted by Henry Therriault, Second World War Veteran and president of Branch 5 (Ontario) of the Royal Canadian Legion. The prayer of dedication was given by Rev. William Ivey, rector of St. John's Anglican Church following the unveiling.

The unveiling of memorial walls at the Remembrance Day service on November 11, 1978, completed the move of the cenotaph to its new location beside the Royal Canadian Legion Hall. The unveiling of the First World War wall was done by Frank Cranston, Chapleau's last surviving Veteran of the First World War, and air cadet Bonnie Goheen. The unveiling of the Second World War wall was done by Muriel (Hunt) Morris and Eric Groulx.

Le 20 mars 2009, le Cavalier Jack Bouthillier meurt au combat lors d'une mission de guerre de Afghanistan.
Sa mort secoue toutes les communautés du nord de l'Ontario et génère une vague de soldarité et de
compassion chez ses résidents. La guerre était plutôt méconnue par la jeune génération; elle fait
maintenant péniblement partie de leur vécu.

L'artiste local Réal Gagnon a été inspiré par cette tragédie; il a voulu commémorer ce jeune soldat et
honorer tous ceux de notre région qui ont perdu la vie au nom de la liberté; ils sont trop souvent oubliés.

Ce monument a été construit et financé grâce à des dons et du travail bénévole. Il témoigne de notre
reconnaissance envers les sacrifices de nos héros disparus et de l'engagement de la collectivité à se
souvenir et à les honorer.

On March 20, 2009, Trooper Jack Bouthillier of Hearst was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan. His
death shocked every Northern Ontario community, arousing compassion and a sense of solidarity amongst
residents. War is largely unknown to our younger generation, but it has now touched them painfully.
Local artist Real Gagnon was inspired to commemorate this young trooper and to honour all of our local
soldiers who have fallen in the name of fredom, for they are too often forgotten.

This memorial was constructed and financed by donations and volunteer work. It is our testimonial to the
sacrifices of our fallen heroes and this community's commitment to remembering and honouring them.

Trooper Jack Bouthillier, of the Royal Canadian Dragoons, was killed in a roadside bomb blast on March 20, 2009. After losing his son in Afghanistan, Raynald Bouthillier wanted to honour the young soldier with a truck mural.

Jack Bouthillier's beaming face is part of a mural on one of the trucks in the fleet of Raynald's transport company. The mural is dedicated to Bouthillier and all the soldiers in Afghanistan. Desert scenes featuring soldiers, tanks and helicopters adorn the truck. On the back of the truck's cab is a list of the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan.

The soldier's memory is also honoured with a mural on Raynald's pick up truck and Harley-Davidson.

Interview with Elaine and Raynald Bouthillier.
