Summary[edit]

Description
English: Closeup of the face of the Canadian Cross of Sacrifice in Section 46 of Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, in the United States. In 1925, MacKenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, proposed that Canada donate memorial to the cemetery to honor the large number of Americans who died while in the the service of the Canadian Armed Forces during World War I. President Calvin Coolidge approved the memorial on June 12, 1925. British architect Sir Reginald Bloomfield designed the memorial, which was dedicated on November 11, 1927. A 24-foot-high grey granite cross stands on a hexagonal base. A giant bronze sword is affixed to the front of the cross. An inscription honors those Americans who served Canada during World War I. Additional inscriptions honoring Americans who served in the Canadian Armed Forces in World War II and the Korean War were added later.
