Gleichen Military Monument

This memorial was donated by the community of Gleichen and was unveiled November 10, 1920. It was built by an Alberta firm from 28 tons of British Columbia granite. The appearance of the monument is rugged to harmonize with the pioneer days of the country and of the men who served.

This memorial was erected by the
citizens of Gleichen and District
to honor the memory of the men
who fell, and in grateful recognition
of all who served during the Great War.
1914 – 1918

Ce monument commémoratif est un don de la collectivité de Gleichen et a été dévoilé le 10 novembre 1920. Il a été construit par une entreprise albertaine et a exigé 28 tonnes de granit de la Colombie-Britannique. L’aspect rude du monument reflète la dure vie des pionniers du pays et de celle des militaires.
