 The Great War exacted a heavy human toll on the University of Saskatchewan. Of the 345 students, faculty and staff who enlisted, 69 "passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and self-sacrifice." About 100 were wounded. 35 were awarded medals of valour. It is with great honor that Ryan Watson, our Stone Carver and the Co-Owner of ROCCO MASONS accepted this opportunity. He designed and is currently carving a memorial bench dedicated to the men and women of the campus who served our country from 1914 to 1918.
