[The east face of the cenotaph contains the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae./Le poème « In Flanders Fields », de John McCrae, est inscrit sur le côté est du cénotaphe.]

IN FLANDERS FIELDS THE POPPIES BLOW
BETWEEN THE CROSSES ROW ON ROW
THAT MARK OUR PLACE
AND IN THE SKY
THE LARKS STILL BRAVELY SINGING FLY
SCARCE HEARD AMIDST THE GUNS BELOW

WE ARE THE DEAD. SHORT DAYS AGO
WE LIVED, FELT DAWN, SAW SUNSET GLOW,
LOVED, AND WERE LOVED, AND NOW WE LIE
IN FLANDERS FIELDS.

TAKE UP OUR QUARREL WITH THE FOE:
TO YOU FROM FAILING HANDS WE THROW
THE TORCH, BE YOURS TO HOLD IT HIGH.
IF YE BREAK FAITH WITH US WHO DIE
WE SHALL NOT SLEEP, THOUGH POPPIES GROW
IN FLANDERS FIELDS

The Taber Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion (GWVA) was organized shortly after the First World War, on April 10th, 1919. In 1920 the members decided to erect a monument to honour the 25 men who did not return from the war. The Monument is entirely the work of the veterans except the statue. A local veteran Thomas Love posed for the picture, the photographs were then sent to Italy, where Master Sculptors completed what is said to be one of the most perfect replica of a Canadian Soldier. The Memorial was unveiled on July 11, 1928. It has since been formally presented to the Town of Taber. All of the branches November 11th ceremonies take place at the cenotaph.
