deeply
appreciated.
Since

note
that

of

anniversary
of

were

mayor
of
Prince
Rupert.
It
was
again
the
time
to
give
thanksgiving
at
the
conclusion
of
hostilities
eleven
years
ago,
the
mayor
said.
He
gave
a
brief
sketch
of
the
conflict
from
the
day
the
Germans
had
violated
the
"Scrap
ol
Paper"
by
pouring
their
military
hrv-dei
Into
peaceful
Belgium
until
over
four
years
later
when
a
shuddering
sigh
went
up
from
the
peoples
of
the
earth
that
the
Armistice
.tad
been
signed
and
the
War
was
over.
The
Unveiling
"But
not
all
came
back,"
continued
Prince
Rupert's
gallant
soldier,
"for
many
sleep
In
Flanders
fields
and
in
the
other
battlefields
of
the
War.
They
fought
and
died
for
us
in
order
that
we
mignt
have
peace
and
enjoy
the
fruits
of
their
great
sacrifice.
And
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
have
said
that
they
will
never
be
forgotten
but
that
mcm0ry
shall
be
revered
for
ever
more.
Therefore.
I
now
unveil
'this
stone
to
the
everlasting
everlasting
me
mory
of
the
men
from
Prince
Rupert
and
this
district
who
fell
In
the
Great
War."
Following,
the
unveiling
ceremony,
there
was
a
prayer
of
general
thanksgiving
and
the
Hymn
"Lest
We
Forget"
was
sung
with

men
handed
over
the
memorial
to
the
will
offering
of
the
people
of
Prince
Rupert
and
dlstrict
to
perpetuate
the
names
of
those
who
had
laid
down
tnelr
lves
ln
tne
Great
War
The
cenotaph
was
not
dedicated
to
tne
giorirication
or
war
but
rawer,
in
a
spirit
of
peace.
It
was
hoped
that
It
would
prove,
however,
a
shrine
of
patriotism.
Prince
Rupert
had
been
slow,
the
ex-mayor
said,
In
doing
Its
duty
in
this
matter
but
It
had
been
due
to
a
difference
of
opinion
as
to
the
form
the
memorial
should
take.
However,
success
had
been
eventually
attained
ln
erecting
this
fine
stone.
Returned
men
tnemseives
had
been
active
ln
bringing
it
about
but
citizens
had
also
given
generous
support.
On
behalf
of
the
cenotaph
committee,
he
was
desirous
of
giving
public
thanks
to
all
who
had
given
assistance.
Mr.
Newton
then
formally
turned
the
cenotaph
over
to
the
provincial
government.
