The six Books of Remembrance, together, commemorate the lives of 114,710 Canadians who lost their lives while serving their country in battle outside Canada since Confederation. All the books are kept in the Memorial Chamber in the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill, Ottawa, Canada. The Books of Remembrance is a beautiful work of art and this Internet site is worth visiting. They turn one page, in each of the six Books, daily in a ceremony held at 11:00 a.m. The ceremony is performed by a member of The House of Commons Service Staff. Once every twelve months, each name in every book appears at least once. They guard these books 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
