The Valiants Memorial ((フランス語:Monument aux Valeureux)) is a military monument located in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, commemorating fourteen key figures from the military history of the country. It was dedicated on 5 November 2006. The work consists of nine busts and five statues, all life-sized, by artists Marlene Hilton Moore and John McEwen.〔 〕 It was installed around the Sappers Staircase, an underpass on the northeastern corner of Confederation Square, adjacent to the National War Memorial. The wall of the staircase is decorated with a quotation from ''The Aeneid'' by Virgil 〔 〕 : ''Nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo'',〔Vergilius, ''Aeneis'', IX, 447 : : Fortunati ambo! si quid mea carmina possunt,(446) : nulla dies umquam memori vos eximet aevo, (447) : dum domus Aeneae Capitoli immobile saxum (448) : accolet imperiumque pater Romanus habebit. (449) The same verse IX, 447 of Virgilius is now engraved on a wall in the "9/11 Memorial Museum" in New-York : "''No day shall erase you from the memory of time''".〕 "No day will ever erase you from the memory of time". The monument was dedicated by Governor General Michaëlle Jean on November 5, 2006.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1380043646059 )〕 The heroes commemorated in the monument are: *From the French Regime (1534-1763): *From the American Revolution (1775-1783): *From the War of 1812 (1812-1815): *From the First World War (1914-1918): *From the Second World War (1938-1945): ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Valiants Memorial」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
