Canadian Memorial CrossThe Memorial Cross was fashioned of sterling silver and impressed on the reverse with the soldier's service number, rank, name and (if any) post-nominals designating received honours. Crosses were sent to a deceased soldier's mother (if she was still alive) and to his wife (if he was married). Based on this there may be one, two or no Memorial Crosses awarded for any particular casualty.Contributed by:
