EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the solemn and proud moment as members of the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, 3rd (Toronto) Battalion, gathered to pay tribute to their fallen comrades during a memorial service in Ypres, Belgium, in 2016. The occasion marked the centenary of the Battle of Ypres, also known as the First Battle of Ypres or the Battle of Ieper, which took place during the First World War from October 1914 to November 1914. The battle is considered one of the most significant engagements of the war, as it prevented the German army from advancing towards Paris and marked the beginning of the stalemate on the Western Front. The plaques in the foreground of the image commemorate the valiant service and ultimate sacrifice of several members of the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles, 3rd (Toronto) Battalion, who were awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy, during the Great War. The inscriptions on the plaques bear the names and details of the recipients, including their regimental number, rank, and the date and location of the heroic acts that earned them this prestigious recognition. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense bravery and sacrifice of the Canadian soldiers during the First World War, and the enduring bond between the Canadian military and the people of Ypres, who continue to honor their legacy through annual commemorative events.
