L5 Howitzers, Beechwood Military Cemetery

Two L5 howitzers occupy the National Military Cemetery of the Canadian Armed Forces in Beechwood Cemetery. They stand close to each other in the south central part of the Field of Honour.

L5 HOWITZER

The 105 mm Pack Howitzer, designed and manufactured in Italy in the late 1960's is the artillery support weapon for the Airborne Regiment within the Canadian Armed Forces. The howitzer is capable of both high and low angle fire with a maximum range of 10,000 M. Minimizing weight and bulk, the gun can be moved to and within the combat zone by air transport, helicopter or towed by vehicles. It uses standard high explosive, illumination, smoke and anti-tanbk ammunition.

East and West Memorial Buildings Plaque

On the north side of Wellington Street across from where Lyon Street joins it, a plaque commemorates the two memorial buildings on the south side of the street.

EAST AND WEST MEMORIAL BUILDINGS
FOR THOSE WHO SERVED

In the 1950s, Canada erected the twin Memorial Buildings on Wellington Street. One of those buildings, at the time, housed the new Department of Veterans Affairs. In the 20th Century alone, nearly two million Canadians served their country in war. Now, Canada serves these people through the Veterans Charter, a pact exceptional in the world for the breadth and scope of services it offers.

At the end of the Second World War in 1945, Canada was determined to help veterans, but it faced an enormous challenge in integrating hundreds of thousands of returning servicemen and servicewomen into Canadian society. The answer was a brilliant array of educational, health, housing and employment programs.

LES ÉDIFICES COMMÉMORATIFS DE L'EST ET DE L'OUEST
À LA MÉMOIRE DES ANCIENS COMBATTANTS

Dans les années 1950, le Canada érige les deux édifices commémoratifs de la rue Wellington, dont l'un abritera le ministère des Anciens combattants, nouvellement créé. Au cours du XX^e siècle, près de deux millions de Canadiens et de Canadiennes participent aux efforts de guerre. En échange, le Canada sssure des services à ces personnes dans le cadre de la Chartre des anciens combattants, pacte unique au monde par sa portée et la vaste gamme de services qu'il prévoit.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, en 1945, le Canada est résolu à aider les anciens combattants, mais il fait face à un défi énorme : intégrer dans la société canadienne des centaines de milliers de militaires de retour au pays. Il y parvient grâce à un excellent éventail de programmes d'éducation, de santé, de logement et d'emploi.
