Nova Scotia, Canada
Grave Reference: Panel 2.
Location: The HALIFAX MEMORIAL in Nova Scotia's capital, erected in Point Pleasant Park, is one of the few tangible reminders of the men who died at sea. Twenty-four ships were lost by the Royal Canadian Navy in the Second World War and nearly 2,000 members of the RCN lost their lives.
This Memorial was erected by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission and was unveiled in November 1967 with naval ceremony by H.P. MacKeen, Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia, in the presence of R. Teillet, then Minister of Veterans Affairs.

The monument is a great granite Cross of Sacrifice over 12 metres high, clearly visible to all ships approaching Halifax. The cross is mounted on a large podium bearing 23 bronze panels upon which are inscribed the names of over 3,000 Canadian men and women who were buried at sea.

The dedicatory inscription, in French and English, reads as follows:

1914 1939
1918 1945
IN THE HONOUR OF
THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF THE NAVY
ARMY AND MERCHANT NAVY

WHOSE NAMES

He is one of the most gentlemanlike men. I suppose I dine there on an average three times a week. C'est chez ce monsieur que fleuret [?] l'heritieres [?] dont [?] j'ai parle mais la demoiselle n'ai que quatorze ans et est encore dans la nursery. I only saw her once or twice after dinner or after tea. She was sent off to bed. Mr F has a very nice young family, the eldest boy about 11 years old. He has the Louth fox hounds and makes his little boys hunt on ponys and I assure you that they ride as boldly as any person in that field to the great terror of their good Maman. I had the two little fellows at my barrack one day four miles from Stephenstown and was quite delighted seeing their surprise at every thing. I gave them as [illegible] a lunch as my situation admitted [illegible] le produit de ma chasse and rode home with them to dine there [illegible] several invites to go there for a few days which our Irish as [sic] not permitted [?] me to avail myself of."
