Discover the history behind one of Canada’s most powerful symbols of remembrance.
Marking 25 years since the repatriation of Canada’s Unknown Soldier, this 18-panel wall display explores the history, legacy and significance of his tomb at the National War Memorial.
Visitors are invited to reflect on sacrifice, loss and commemoration, deepening their understanding of how Canada remembers those who served.
One of the final panels connects the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to Memorial Hall at the Canadian War Museum — home to his original headstone.
An exhibition developed by the Canadian War Museum, Ottawa.
