To commemorate the centenary of the deaths of 413 Canadian soldiers in the First World War, who were stationed at the Canadian army training centre a few miles outside Grayshott. The soldiers, from No. 12 Canadian General Hospital which served the camp, died between 1915 and 1919. They were all buried locally: 318 soldiers in Bramshott churchyard, and 95 soldiers who were Roman Catholics in the churchyard of St.Joseph's Catholic Church, Grayshott.

Also with birthday compliments to Anne Aitken
