 | | The bronze statute, which was commissioned in 1920 in memory of Harbord students who had died in the Great War, had fallen into disrepair in recent years, but a committee of alumni raised $53,000 to refurbish it. |
 | | Fittingly, the statue was rededicated by the son of a Harbord student who had dropped out after three years at the high school to join his countrymen in the trenches of Europe where he was a sapper stringing communications wires across the Allied front. |
 | | For Bob Serling, a 1936 Harbord graduate, who won a Distinguished Flying Cross and Croix de Guerre as an RCAF navigator on Halifax bombers, the day was as much about seeing the current students at the ceremony as remembering the war. |
