National Artillery Memorial
The memorial wall and 25-pounder artillery field gun commemorate the service of The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery. The Latin words on the badge read Ubique (Everywhere) and Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt (Whither Right and Glory Lead).
Gunners have participated in every major conflict in Canada's history and, as a combat component of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Artillery continues to make a vital contribution to missions around the world.
Le mur commémoratif et la pièce d'artillerie de campagne de 25 livres commémorent le service du Régiment royal de l'Artillerie canadienne. Les inscriptions latines qui figurent sur l'insigne sont Ubique (Partout) et Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt (Là où nous mènent le devoir et la gloire).
Les artilleurs ont pris part à tous les conflits majeurs de l'histoire du Canada et, en tant qu'élément de combat des Forces armées canadiennes, l'Artillerie continue de jouer un rôle crucial dans les missions menées aux quatre coins du monde.
