Section 27, known as the Field of Honour, is one of the most profound expressions of military remembrance at Beechwood Cemetery. Reserved for Canadian Forces veterans and war dead from conflicts ranging from the Northwest Rebellion to United Nations campaigns and humanitarian missions, this section embodies respect, duty, and collective memory.
This land was purchased by the Crown in 1944, and until its amalgamation into the National Military Cemetery of Canada, it was overseen by Veterans Affairs Canada and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, affirming its role as a dedicated military burial ground.
Section 27’s layout reflects the military hollow square defensive formation. In battle, soldiers faced outward with their backs protected by their comrades, allowing mutual trust and shared vigilance. At Beechwood, this concept is translated into a thoughtful arrangement of graves that symbolically enacts that same protective strength and collective resolve.
