The bronzes were finally relocated to Ottawa in the summer of 1937,[1] accompanied by Sydney, Percival, and Walter March.[53] In December, after years of bickering,[3] the contract for the construction of the pedestal and arch was awarded to E.G.M. Cape and Company of Montreal.[4] The entire cenotaph was completed on 19 October 1938, after which the landscaping surrounding the memorial was laid out and installed by Toronto contractors A.W. Robertson Limited with consultation from Gréber.[4][11] The cost by that point had risen to over $1,300,000.
