On 10/6/1944 the bicentennial of his birth this marker was erected to the memory of James McGill...

This monument is a duplicate in external appearances of that which stood in the old Protestant Cemetery, Dorchester Street, from 1813 until 1875. Deterioration of the original forced replacement. The original has been preserved.

This commemorative garden is dedicated in grateful remembrance of the sacrifices made by members of the McGill Univ in the 2nd World War
