GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Le mémorial militaire de l’église anglicane St. Paul contient le tableau d’honneur du « sanctuaire militaire » original érigé en 1917 au pied de l’entrée principale de l’église, et maintenant situé dans l’église elle-même. Les noms des hommes qui ont quitté Esquimalt pour combattre pendant la Première Guerre mondiale y sont inscrits.

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