Soldiers' Tower, Memorial tower at University of Toronto, Canada.
The 143-foot Gothic Revival tower features 51 bronze bells, a clock, and commemorative stone screens listing names of fallen university members.
The tower opened in 1924 following a fundraising campaign by university alumni who collected $397,141 to create a memorial after World War I.
The Memorial Room displays portraits of distinguished graduates, including Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, who wrote the poem 'In Flanders Fields'.
The Memorial Room contains records of over 6,000 names from both World Wars and remains open to researchers through scheduled appointments.
The carillon's 51 bells include a four-ton bourdon bell, making it one of the largest musical instruments at any Canadian educational institution.
