On July 28, 1938, a 10-cent
stamp (Scott 241) was issued show-
ing the memorial chamber where
the remembrance books are
located.
Less than a year later, on May
15, 1939, a 2-cent stamp (Scott
247) was issued showing Canada’s
national cenotaph, located in Ot-
tawa’s Confederation Square.
The stamp was part of a three-
stamp set to mark the visit to
Canada of King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth.
The cenotaph stamp has puzzled
philatelists for years, but it was in-
cluded because King George of-
ficially dedicated the monument
during the visit.
Soon after, Canada was again at
war and six years later there was
another inscription to add to the
cenotaph, and more books of
remembrance.
