Sherbrooke War Memorial, War memorial at King Street West, Sherbrooke, Canada
The granite and bronze monument features three soldiers in a trench with an angel figure extending wings while holding a laurel wreath above them.
The memorial construction started in 1923 after a citizens' committee request and was inaugurated on November 7, 1926, by Mayor James Keith Edwards.
A bronze plate displays 249 names of Sherbrooke soldiers who died in World War I, with an additional plaque added in 1948 for World War II casualties.
The memorial underwent restoration in 2009 by the Centre de conservation du Québec, with costs shared between Veterans Affairs Canada and Sherbrooke City.
The bronze figures were cast in Belgium while the granite base originated from Stanstead quarries in Quebec, known for its granite production.
