Mark Collin Reid, Canada's History

Moving memorials of a horrifying war.

John Mackie, Vancouver Sun

In the aftermath of a world torn apart by war, countless communities across Canada sought to pay tribute to their fallen by erecting war memorials intended to serve as a syumbol of eternal remembrance. Through his insightful writing and often hauntingly beautiful photography, Alan MacLeod traces the story of the soldier statuary these efforts left behind. Remembered in Bronze and Stone is a fine tribute and a call to current and future generations to ensure the preservation of these memorials.
