Text of the plaque:

Canada's Golgotha

During the Second Battle of Ypres, rumours circulated that a Canadian soldier had been crucified on a Belgian barn door, a story the Germans denounced as propaganda. Whether truth or fiction, Canada's Golgotha illustrates the intensity of wartime myths and imagery. The crucifixion remains unproven.

The sculpture was exhibited at Burlington House, London in 1919, but because of the controversy it generated, it was withdrawn from the exhibition and only displayed again in 1992, at the Canadian War Museum.
