Whitehorse Fence and Plaque

The decorative fence and plaques affixed to it do not specifically commemorate military units, but rather the importance of the highway itself.

Inscription

ON NOVEMBER 20, 1942 THE ALASKA HIGHWAY
WAS COMPLETED AS A WARTIME EXPEDIENT.
TODAY, TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER, DURING THE
CENTENARIES OF CANADA AND THE STATE OF
ALASKA THIS PLAQUE COMMEMORATES THAT
EVENT AND HONORS THE BRAVE MEN WHOSE
[?] EFFORTS MADE THE HIGHWAY A
REALITY AND INDEED AN AVENUE TO THE
GLORIOUS FUTURE OF BOTH ALASKA AND THE
YUKON TERRITORY.

NOVEMBER 30, 1967

Cette clôture décorative et les plaques qui y sont fixées ne portent pas sur des unités militaires en particulier, mais rappellent l’importance de la route elle-même.
