 We believe that every loyal Canadian is desirous of 
 perpetuating as much as lies in his power the memory of 
 the brave volunteers who died in South Africa for their 
 country and their sovereign. No names will be more honored 
 throughout our city in the long years to come, and the story 
 of their ready response to the call for volunteers and of their 
 death in a far of land, while fighting gallantly for Queen and 
 Empire, will serve as an incentive to soldiers yet unborn, to 
 be ready to protect the flag and live under its benign 
 influence which is a Briton's proudest heritage. 
 
 To the grief stricken parents and relatives the sympathy 
 of every citizen is extended. It is some solace to know, in 
 this affliction which robs us of ten of the capitals most 
 promising young men, that those we mourn died as brave 
 men doing their duty, and with their faces to the '■ e. They 
 in their soldier's graves on the veldt in South Africa have 
 acheived a lasting .lonor and by their death and example 
 have forged between the mother country and her patriotic 
 colonies an indissoluble link, that through all time will be 
 the proud boast of Canadians. 
 
 We therefore present to the citizens of Ottawa this efiort 
 to preserve their memory and hope it will meet with 
 approval.
