Remembrance They call the space that lay between the lines "No -Man's Land", But war itself, with all its bullets, bombs and mines Is no man's land. Rather as a gun -fed inferno, it is hell; It pays no heed To past, to present, or to what in future would be welt. But like a steed It gallops on, trampling wantonly o'er property and life Consuming all, Health, happiness, hopes, dreams: such is unbridled strife. Why then, when the spectre of all war is so horrendous Would we want to remember? Because the cost was so immeasurable, so stupendous We still pause each November. We pause in silence, for no words can truly frame The debt we owe To those who sacrifice is etched In stone — each name Upon some cenotaph Which stands In city, town or countryside, A sacred graph,. Bespeaking those who fought and strove and died, Fired by the hope, That war one day would end And freedom have full scope. ANDREA GRANT Wingham, Ontario The National War Memorial Canada's national war memorial was conceived and executed in a garden in Kent, England. It was the product of seven brothers from Yorkshire who came from a farming family and had no formal art or sculpture training. It was the result of ten years of labour on their part. In 1925, Vernon Marsh won the Canadian government competition for a design for a national war memorial. His design was one of seven finalists out of 122 entries in the international competition. After submitting a model, he was authoriz- ed to proceed with his work. Vemon Marsh died In 1930, but the remaining six brothers and a sister, Elsie, carried on. In 1932 the memorial was finished. heir Generous Support In Making This Message Possible.
