A large memorial area setup to remember our Korean War Veterans. The area features a large curved wall with individual names on plaques, a centerpiece with three flags (Korean, Canadian and United Nations). At the base of the flags is a commemorative plaque and inscriptions.

You will first notice the large sculpture opposite the apex of the curved wall when you arrive. This entire section of the cemetery seems dedicated to military burials.

The wall is 200 feet long and remembers 516 Canadians that died in the Korean War.
