Monument to WWI Soldiers – Roseisle Memorial Rose Garden
A light grey granite obelisk with its simple message, “Lest We Forget” marks a section of the Roseisle Memorial Rose Garden dedicated to local soldiers who died in WWI. In commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the beginning of WWI, C/D MHAC guided local students in researching the lives and deaths of eight soldiers from the Roseisle area who lost their lives in the 1914–18 conflict. On July 1, 2014, each student planted a rose in memory of ‘their’ soldier in the war memorial section of the Rose Garden. A ninth casualty was late identified and honoured in a special ceremony.Each of these soldiers is buried or memorialized abroad. Thanks to Blaine Huston, Devon & Katlyn Klassen, Jesse & Kelsey Murphy, Caleb, Jenna and Shaelyn Swain, Gracyn Tranq and Stephanie Fraser for helping find them a special place of honour in their own home soil.
Gracyn Tranq places a plaque to mark the rose planted
in memory of her great-great uncle David Wilson
