Dedicated on April 9, 1920, the memorial was erected in memory of the victory at Vimy Ridge. The battle took place from April 9 to 12 and was part of the Battle of Arras in Pas-de-Calais that connects the Port of Calais on the English Channel where today the Channel Tunnel lands. During the Second World War, the lantern at the top of the memorial was extinguished. Canada detained tens of thousands of Japanese-Canadians who were living in British Columbia (and in the United States, deported to concentration cams) under the War Measures Act for no reason other than their ancestry. The lantern was not relit until 1985. The plaques around the memorial list those who lost their lives in WW I, WW II, the Korean War and the Afghan War. As you enjoy your free time in Stanley Park, take a moment to think about those who fought for that freedom.

One of Stanley Parks first memorials. Dedicated to the fallen heroes of WW1/WW2/Korean and the Afghanistan war. It also pays tribute to the Japanese Battalion of 227 fearless warriors who served Canada during WW1. They volunteered and traveled on their own expense to be trained as soldiers,regardless of the poor treatment they endured from the Canadian government.These heroic Japanese soldiers played an important role in Vimy Ridge and many other vital victories.Their sacrifices were awarded with many military medals including the St George Cross. The stunning Japanese Sakura trees line the pathway leading up to the stone monument and during the spring the air is filled with nature's perfumes. Designed by James A Benzie, sculpted by Master stone masons Keast and Allan. Unveiled in April 1920.

An impressive memorial with a lot of history and detail engraved on. Always good to reflect on the waste of wars...which still continue.

Stanley park is one of the prettiest park I have ever been. It’s so clean and peace! Really close to the city center and chill.
