Displayed in military formation, the 3,200 crosses honour Southern Alberta soldiers killed in action.

The crosses are located on a 5-acre park along Memorial Drive between 3 Street northwest and Centre Street.

Each cross is inscribed with the name, age, rank, regiment and the date of their death.

Starting on Nov. 1, there will be a flag raising ceremony at sunrise and a flag lowering ceremony at sunset.

The site is open to the public until Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.
