This memorial displays the unit crests of the Royal Canadian Artillery. At the base of the bar, there is a series of five carved crests to represent the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. They include: First Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, Second Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, Third Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, Fourth Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, and 5e Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery.

The crests originate from the pews in the Deilinghofen church in Germany, and it appears there was not a sufficient quantity of crests to complete the bar. The original crests were complemented with the addition of these: Air Defence, Air OP, and 30th Field Artillery Regiment, RCA.

This memorial is dedicated to the honour of the Officers and Men of the Royal regiment of Canadian Artillery, and is located on the 2nd floor of the Army Officer's Mess in Ottawa.

The cipher is proudly displayed by our Regular Force Field Artillery units, the 1st Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, the 2nd Regiment Royal Canadian Horse Artillery, and the 5e Régiment d'artillerie légère du Canada. To quote from the Standing Orders of the RCA:

"This badge is only used by RCHA units and associations as a crest. The RCHA Badge is based on the badge of the Order of the Garter which dates from 1348. The motto of the Order of the Garter, "Honi soit qui mal y pense" ("Shame on him who thinks this evil"), is not considered as a motto of the artillery."

Presented in 1992 to Observation Post de Hart (Op de Hart, home of the Ottawa Gunners) by Lt.Col. (Ret'd) J.J. Donahue, President of the Ottawa Gunners. The memorial is a statue of Saint Barbara, the patron saint of gunners, artillery and explosives, personnel, and military engineers.

One of the Military Attaches' in Ottawa decided that the figure needed a better home than the one that he could provide. Lieutenant-Colonel Jerry Donahue was quick enough to seize the opportunity and the statue of Saint Barbara came to reside in Observation Post de Hart (Op de Hart) on the 2nd floor of the Army Officers' Mess in Ottawa.

THE FIGHT FOR CANADA
1812 - 1815

Fought on land and on water, the War of 1812
helped shape the future of Canada. To defeat
the American invasion, people from various
walks of life came together - men and women;
military personnel and civilians; English, French
and Aboriginal peoples. The figures on this
monument reflect the diversity of those who
joined forces to defend this land and ensure
Canada's existence.

LA LUTTE POUR LE CANADA
1812 – 1815

Menée sur les fronts terrestre et maritime,
la guerre de 1812 a tracé l’anvenir du Canada.
Pour contrer l’invasion américaine, des
personnes de différents milieux et origines
se sont mobilisées : hommes et femmes;
Anglais, Français, Autochtones; militaires
et civils. Les personnes représentés sur ce
monument reflètent la diversité de ceux et
celles qui ont uni leurs forces pour défendre
le territoire et assurer l’existence du Canada.

The War of 1812 Monument, Triumph Through Diversity sits on Parliament Hill, at the South East corner of East Block, facing the National War Memorial. It is dedicated to the people who defended Canada during the War of 1812 and was unveiled on November 6, 2014.

It was designed by Adrienne Alison to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the War 1812. The two smooth granite boat-shaped pieces symbolize the ships used by the Royal Navy and remind us that part of the war was fought on water. Atop the rough granite center base that recalls the Canadian landscape, seven bronze figures form a circle illustrating the stages of battle. Each is approximately seven feet tall and represent the key combatants that came together to defeat the American invasion: a Métis fighter firing a cannon; a woman bandaging the wrist of a Voltigeur; a Royal Navy sailor pulling a rope; a Mohawk warrior pointing out the advancing enemy; a Canadian militiaman raising his arm in triumph, and a member of a British Army unit, specifically the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, firing a musket.

Alison consulted experts to ensure the accuracy of the clothing and sourced authentic weaponry for the statues. She enlisted live models to pose for about 40 hours each, including a Six Nations Mohawk man who travelled to Toronto several times from Brantford, Ontario.

A maple tree was planted in soil that was taken from ten Canadian battlefield sites. It was watered at the dedication with water from six oceans and lakes that were significant in the War of 1812. The tree symbolizes the Canadian nation that grew out of the unifying effort to defend Canada against the American invasion during the War of 1812 and pays tribute to the many naval battles that played a part throughout the war.
