    In 2002, a stele was erected in honour of the soldiers of the 8th Army Field Regiment (S.P.) Royal Canadian Artillery on the Esplanade du canal.

    This memorial stele symbolises the German pincer movement closing on Dunkirk to prevent the evacuation of British troops.
    The horizontal axis of the monument is oriented East-West towards Dunkirk. The concrete teeth represent the seven units that resisted for three days and three nights to enable the success of Operation Dynamo. One of the "jaws of the pincer movement" is topped with a cross also pointing towards the West.
