The 48th Highlanders of Canada Regimental Memorial is a monument in Toronto's Queen's Park, in Ontario, Canada.[1] The monument was erected in 1923.[2]
Description and history[]
The memorial was designed by two architects, Eric Haldenby and Alvan Mathers and features a 12 metres (39 ft) high white granite shaft, with four niches at its top and an open dome as its capstone.[3] The north side of the monument features an inscription that reads "swords of sacrifice" on the monument's bas-relief, with a list of engagements that the regiment was involved in during the Second Boer War listed below the inscription.[3] Regimental battle honours from the First World War are also listed on the monument's east and west face; whereas the unit's battle honours from the Second World War are inscribed on the monument's south face.[3]
