Navan Cenotaph

This cenotaph was refurbished from the original 1987 monument, and re-dedicated in October 17, 2010 by the Citizens of Navan. The five granite stelæ have been relocated from the entrance to Navan Memorial Centre to the east edge of the arena parking area.

The leftmost and rightmost stela have the dedication inscription, with the three centre stelæ having the names of those who gave their lives, and engraved badges of the Canadian Forces, Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army, and Royal Canadian Air Force. The left edge of the memorial has a sponsorship plaque for the memorial.

[left stela/stèle gauche]

Dedicated to the glory of God. To honour all those who serve our country, those who served and in memory of all who paid the supreme sacrifice. Lest we forget.

[right stela/stèle droit]

Dédié à la gloire de Dieu. Pour honorer tous ceux et celles qui servent notre pays et qui l’ont servi, et à la mémoire de ceux et celles qui sont morts pour la patrie. N’oublions pas.

[centre stela/centre stèle]

Their name liveth for evermore. Leur nom vivra à jamais.
