Field of Crosses
Thousands of fallen soldiers from southern Alberta are once again being honoured in the Field of Crosses in Calgary.
The field, which sees the name of each southern Alberta soldier killed in action dating back to the Boer War, is written on a white cross erected along Memorial Drive near Centre Street.
Learning the name of each soldier killed is no easy task, as volunteers spent months visiting towns and cities across southern Alberta, checking cenotaphs, legions and even church records for names.
This year there are 3410 crosses in the field, with the crosses continuing to grow in numbers each year.
