National War Memorial, War memorial in St. John's, Canada.
The National War Memorial features bronze sculptures of military and civilian figures beneath a central female figure holding a torch and sword.
Field Marshall Haig inaugurated the memorial on July 1, 1924, marking the anniversary of Newfoundland's participation in the Battle of Beaumont Hamel.
Five bronze plaques beneath the central figures commemorate Newfoundland's involvement in World War I, World War II, Korean War, Afghanistan, and War of 1812.
The memorial stands between Water and Duckworth Streets, with its position offering clear views from St. John's Harbour through a series of stone steps.
A $6 million refurbishment project includes the creation of a tomb for an unknown First World War soldier, scheduled for placement on July 1, 2024.
