The Soldiers' Tower was built by the University of Toronto Alumni Association in 1924 as a memorial to the Great War of 1914-1918. The names of those who died in that conflict are carved on the Memorial Screen at photo left. After the Second World War, more names were carved in the Memorial Arch at the Tower's base. In total, almost 1,200 names are inscribed. A Memorial Room inside the Tower contains mementoes and artifacts, and a 51-bell carillon serves as the audio element of the living memorial to the alumni, students, faculty and staff who died in the World Wars. The Soldiers' Tower is the site of an annual Service of Remembrance. Photo: Kathy Parks, Alumni Relations.

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE CANADIEN DE CALAIS (Leubringhen) Pas de Calais, France
Leubringhen est un village dans le département du Pas-de-Calais, à mi-chemin entre Calais et Boulogne et on y trouve le cimetière de guerre canadien de Calais. Celui-ci est situé du côté est de la route Calais-Boulogne, à 14 kilomètres de Calais.
De Calais, quittez l'autoroute à l'intersection 9 et prenez à gauche sur la N3-E402 vers St Inglevert. Passez à travers le village et en sortant, prenez votre première gauche par-dessus le pont-route et suivez cette route pendant environ 250 mètres. Vous apercevrez le cimetière à votre gauche.
Pour plus d’informations, visitez la Commission des sépultures de guerre du Commonwealth (site disponible en anglais seulement).
