Valiants Memorial, Military monument in downtown Ottawa, Canada
The Valiants Memorial features nine bronze busts and five statues commemorating fourteen figures from Canadian military history, arranged around the Sappers Staircase.
Inaugurated by Governor General Michaëlle Jean in November 2006, this memorial includes representations of military figures from different periods, including the French Regime and World Wars.
Each bronze figure at the memorial tells individual stories of military service, from Comte de Frontenac's defense of New France to Laura Secord's actions in 1812.
The memorial stands next to the National War Memorial at Confederation Square, with bronze wall inscriptions providing information about each military figure.
The memorial wall displays a Latin inscription from Virgil's Aeneid stating 'Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo', translating to 'No day will erase you from memory of time'.
