Estevan Cenotaph -- Estevan, SK CAN - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

This gray stone cenotaph stands in a small plaza at the north corner of the Estevan Courthouse grounds in downtown Estevan, Saskatchewan Canada.

On the north side a relief warrior cross stands over the inscription:

1914-1918
"Those who with fame eternal,
Their own dear land endowed."

A bronze plaque affixed over the engraved names of the men who served from this area in WWI was added in 1967, the Canadian Centennial year. This new plaque lists the names of those from Estevan who served in the World War I, World War II, and Korean conflicts.

Below the new plaque, the base of the memorial is engraved as follows:

"In remembrance
of these, our men, who at the call of duty rose to heights of heroism undreamed of, and by glorious sacrifice achieved their immortality.

This memorial is erected that their names may not be forgotten, and their example inspire those who would come after.
