    A beautiful Memorial to the 4th Armoured Division & Canadian 2nd Infantry Division and the 'The Polar Bears - 49th Infantry Division.
    Witness to this...
    A Wreck...
    Motionless in the field.
    Witness to a past.
    It whispers silently...
    The story of those who set us free.
    Young Canadian and English men
    It calls upon us...
    To be grateful for 75 years of peace.
