The National War Memorial and Canada's Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is at the foot of a striking bronze sculpture of World War I soldiers emerging from a granite arch. Around the base of the statue, which is also known as "The Response," are the years of conflicts where Canadian forces have fought.

A brief, but solemn, Changing of the Guard ceremony here is led by a single bagpiper, and the monument is the center of activities on Remembrance Day, when it is traditional for people to leave poppies on the tomb.

Traduction du texte ci-haut:

Le Monument commémoratif de guerre du Canada et la Tombe du soldat inconnu du Canada se trouvent au pied d'une impressionnante sculpture en bronze représentant des soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale émergeant d'une arche de granit. Autour de la base de la statue, également connue sous le nom de «La réponse», se trouvent les années de conflits où les forces canadiennes ont combattu.

Une brève, mais solennelle, cérémonie de relève de la garde ici est dirigée par un seul joueur de cornemuse, et le monument est le centre des activités le jour du Souvenir, quand il est traditionnel pour les gens de laisser des coquelicots sur la tombe.
