Located in Ottawa, Beechwood Cemetery became the home of Canada's National Military Cemetery in 2007. The National Military Cemetery encompasses four sections of Beechwood and was established through a partnership between the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, Veterans Affairs Canada, the Department of National Defence, and Beechwood Cemetery.  

The military plots in Sections 19 and 29 were used during and after the First World War and military burials continued in Section 27 throughout and following the Second World War. In 1958, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission erected a Cross of Sacrifice and shelter building with the Cremation Memorial in Section 27. The Department of National Defence (Canadian Forces) opened section 103 in 2001. This section is dedicated to the memory of Canadian service personnel who honourably served their country in war and peace, at home and abroad, and are now at rest.

There are memorials throughout the National Military Cemetery, including the Cross of Sacrifice, Cremation Memorial, National Military Cemetery Memorial, and Tri-Service Memorial.

Unveiled on May 28, 1995, this flagpole is dedicated to members of The Loyal Orange Association who fought in both World Wars.

The Osgood Window was erected by general subscription on May 2, 1886. Private William Osgoode was a parishioner who died at Cut Knife Hill on May 2, 1885.

In 1885, the Civil Service Rifle Regiment sent a company to Northwest Canada to help quell the Northwest Rebellion. All members of the company were selected because they were expert shots and as a result they were known at “The Sharpshooters”. They formed part of Colonel Otter’s column that relieved the town of Battleford on April 24. Members of the Regiment came under fire on May 2 for the first time at the Battle of Cut Knife Hill. It was here that the Regiment suffered its first fatalities - Privates William Osgoode and John Rogers.

The Memorial Window (1925), St Andrew's Church, A Congregation of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

It was during 1925 that the work of preparation and installation of the War Memorial Window was completed. The undertaking had been in progress for several years, the cost – approximately $7,000 – having been defrayed by contributions from members of the congregation. The window is regarded as a magnificent example of this form of art and is by James Ballantyne of Edinburgh, Scotland. It was unveiled on Sunday, December 13, 1925, by His Excellency the Right Honourable Lord Byng of Vimy, then Governor-General of Canada. The Rev. Thomas Eakin, D.D., preached the sermon while The Rev. A.M. Gordon, D.D., delivered the dedicatory address.

This description of the window appeared in the Ottawa Journal, December 14, 1925: The window is a striking and beautiful piece of craftsmanship, of noble proportion and fine colour. The theme is the “Angel of Peace”, radiant in light, free and unfettered, bringing the divine message of hope and ultimate triumph to humanity. Dominating all is the “Christ in Majesty”, and the supreme symbols, Alpha and Omega, in recognition that Emmanuel – “God is with us” – is a reality.

The Angel is boldly portrayed as a young man, with arms extended in deliverance, illustrating the words “And There Shall Be No More Death.”

Below this are grouped figures of types representing Adventure (Explorer); Knowledge (Scholar); Sacrifice in pursuit of high and unselfish ends (Knight) – the keynote of the Memorial; Statesmanship (King); Industry (Craftsman); Patience (Womanhood); Confidence and Courage (Youth).

The colouring has as its chief note the ruby-red wings of the Angel, the window being completed in purple, blue and yellow. At the foot is the following dedicatory inscription:

“They overcame... and they loved not their lives unto death.”
