Inscription

THE
LIFELINE OF THE
WORLD

1914-1919 1939-1945

This memorial is dedicated to the men and women of the Canadian
Merchant Navy. Their courage, fortitude and determination in two World
Wars kept the ships sailing through the terrible years of unparalleled loss.
In particular we remember the men and women who gave their lives and
whose only grave is the sea. Their supreme sacrifice in both World Wars
ensured the lifeline of Troops and of supplies without which victory could not
have been ours and without which we would not now enjoy our freedom.

LEST WE FORGET
