Honouring Women in Wartime Heritage Garden Dedication

Heritage Rose Garden Dedication Poem Depicted on Information Board at Entrance to Memorial Garden

Pause and Reflect

This Memorial Garden is Dedicated to the strength and courage of Women in Wartime

The women who served,

The women who nursed,

And the women who remained at home and waited,

They bore the long terrible years ofuncertainty and grief,

They took up the baton passed on by their men away at war and shouldered the load,

Both in the workplace and at home,

They then cared for the damaged minds and bodies of those who returned,

In this peaceful place take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices of the heroes,

Of the other side of war,

The Women of War

Pause and Reflect in Peace
