Designed by Canadian artist Rob Surette, who was also in attendance at the Ceremony, the Price of Peace monument was unveiled in 1999 to commemorate the sacrifices and achievements of our soldiers during the Battle of Ortona. The square where the Price of Peace monument is now located was badly damaged during the fighting and the base of the memorial incorporates bricks from buildings that had been smashed during battle. Atop the memorial is a bronze, life-sized sculpture of a wounded Canadian soldier being comforted by a comrade. In a ceremony organized by the city of Ortona on June 1, 2019, the public square was renamed Canadian Heroes Square. #CanadaRemembers A post shared by Canadian Armed Forces (@canadianforces) on Dec 3, 2019 at 8:42am PST Apply Here Intelligence Officer Salary: Varied Company: Canadian Armed Forces Why You Should Apply: This role is as important as it sounds!
