The In Their Memory exhibition commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Aurora-Whitchurch-King War Memorial (now known as the Aurora War Memorial), a powerful symbol of shared remembrance and community collaboration. Erected in 1925, the memorial stands as a tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War.
Through archival materials, photographs, and powerful quotes, this exhibition explores how the communities of Aurora, King, and Whitchurch came together to memorialize the fallen and how the memorial has shaped public memory over time. It also reflects on the evolving role of remembrance in our public spaces and the importance of preserving these legacies for future generations.
For the display at the King Heritage & Cultural Centre, additional information has been incorporated about the experience of King soldiers and nursing sisters. Soldier profiles and reproduction letters are available for visitors to explore.
