High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Canada's Golgotha is a 32-inch-high (810 mm) bronze sculpture by the British sculptor Francis Derwent Wood, produced in 1918. It illustrates the story of the Crucified Soldier from the First World War and depicts a Canadian soldier crucified on a barn door and surrounded by jeering Germans. It is now on show at the Canadian War Museum. It was to be included in the exhibition of the Canadian War Memorial Fund collection, and was widely publicized before the exhibition opened. The exhibition, at Burlington House, London, was due to open in January 1919, just before the signing of the Paris Peace Treaty and Canadian Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden requested further investigation into the veracity of the story. Two more sworn statements were presented, and one from a Victoria Cross holder attached a name to the victim: "Sergeant Brant." At this time the German government formally requested that the Canadian government publicly acknowledge that the story of the crucified soldier was untrue, or else provide evidence.
