Installed originally in Major's Hill Park in 1888, on the site now occupied by the Chateau Laurier, this memorial commemorates two members of the Sharpshooters Company of the Governor General's Foot Guards who died at the Battle of Cut Knife Hill on May 2, 1885, during the Northwest Rebellion. Designed by the British sculptor Percy Wood, the monument includes the portraits of Privates William B. Osgoode and John Rodgers, and the bronze figure of a Guardsman, resting on arms reversed. The Regiment still conducts a memorial service every year at the monument.
