Cairn (stone) – Corunna

This memorial is dedicated to fallen comrades. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 447. The cairn overlooking the St. Clair River in Corunna is made of fieldstones that have been worked to give them flat surfaces. The process of facing the stones is very laborious and shows the dedication of the workers.

Tumulus (pierres) – Corunna

Ce mémorial est dédié aux camarades tombés au combat. Il a été érigé par la filiale no 447 de la Légion royale canadienne. Ce tumulus surplombant la rivière St. Clair, à Corunna, est fait de pierre des champs travaillées de manière à présenter une surface plane. Ce processus très laborieux démontre le perfectionnisme des ouvriers qui y ont travaillé.

Le texte de l’inscription figure dans la section anglaise.
