Saskatchewan WWII & Korean War, & Peacetime Operations Memorial -- Regina, SK CAN - Korean War Memorials on Waymarking.com

This multi-war memorial is the northernmost Memorial at this corner of the Saskatchewan Assembly grounds at Regina, one block east of the Albert Memorial Bridge. It is literally the first thing you see (apart from legislative building itself).

The monument is made of Tyndall stone plinths with bronze honor roll plaques listing the names of the dead from Saskatchewan who served during the 20th and 21st century wars and peacetime operations as members of the Canadian military forces. The plants are arranged in a circle around a stone plaza in which the Canadian Maple leaf is set. It is a beautiful memorial, and Older Blasterz, being US Navy Persian Gulf War veterans, made sure to visit it.

The text on the general memorial plinths read as follows:
