<p>Their name liveth forever more. In lasting memory of three hundred and fifteen men who with many of their associates of the Eaton Company bravely faced peril and hardship in the Great War and finally laid down their lives in the cause of liberty, justice and humanity.</p>
<p>This bronze memorial is a tribute to the men of the Eaton's company who died as a result of service in the First World War. A 1919 Eaton's publication noted that 3,327 Eaton's staff enlisted in the war. The memorial is presently located in the Toronto Eaton Centre at Yonge and Dundas streets and is accompanied by a second plaque for all staff who gave their lives in the Second World War.</p>
