Sault Ste. Marie War Memorial

Here are some pictures I took this morning of Sault Ste. Marie's Cenotaph. The cenotaph in front of the courthouse was unveiled in 1924. It was designed by Alfred Howell, a prominent sculptor in the decade following the Great War, who designed war memorials for Guelph and Pembroke, as well as Saint John, New Brunswick. The monument also includes a four-line poem by Rudyard Kipling, commissioned specially for this memorial. For more information, additional information can be found here.  photo DSC03458_zps0neh2cte.jpg  photo DSC03459_zpsnnccdhkc.jpg  photo DSC03462_zpsg2xlofmv.jpg  photo DSC03460_zpscltcedea.jpg  photo DSC03461_zpslghvjplo.jpg  photo DSC03466_zpsgndumdnc.jpg  photo DSC03467_zpsiks9rtxy.jpg
