  • Guide to Manitoba Memorial Types
    GUIDE TO MANITOBA MEMORIAL TYPES War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy GUIDE TO MANITOBA MEMORIAL TYPES he memorials honouring Manitoba’s dead of World War I are a profound historical legacy. They are also a major artistic achievement. This section of the study of Manitoba war memorials explores the Tmost common types of memorials with an eye to formal considerations – design, aesthetics, materials, and craftsmanship. For those who look to these objects primarily as places of memory and remembrance, this additional perspective can bring a completely different level of understanding and appreciation, and even delight. Six major groupings of war memorial types have been identified in Manitoba: Tablets Cairns Obelisks Cenotaphs Statues Architectural Monuments Each of these is reviewed in the following entries, with a handful of typical or exceptional Manitoba examples used to illuminate the key design and material issues and attributes that attend the type. Guide to Manitoba Memorial Types 1 War Memorials in Manitoba: An Artistic Legacy Tablets The apparently simple and elemental form of the tablet, also known as a stele (from the ancient Greek, with stelae as the plural), is the most common form of gravesite memorial. Given its popularity and cultural and historical resonance, its use for war memorials is understandable. The tablet is economical—in form and often in cost—but also elegant. And while the simple planar face is capable of conveying a great deal of inscribed information, the very form itself can be seen as a highly abstracted version of the human body – and thus often has a mysterious attractive quality.
