50 FOCUS - NOVEMBER 2015 Legacy continued from page 47 books after hed led men at places like Vimy and Passchendaele. As well hed raised a regiment of 1145 from his home area. He knew many of them personally. After three years of watching them get picked off in bat- tle and the War winding down he was about to face their families. No wonder he felt tremendous strain he was too human for the job. Erin OToole MP for Durham Riding and cur- rently Minister of Veterans Affairs served as the driving force in Sharpes renaissance. Erin was passionate to recognize an unjustly ne- glected war hero Sharpe had received the Distin- guished Service Order and also he wanted to demonstrate how societys view of PTSD had dramat- ically shifted. The sculpture proves its never too late to right a wrong however griev- ous. Tragically the Colonel wont personally bask in the adulation of the coun- try he served so bravely but theres a strong sense that his spirit lives on in the man who created his memorial. Colonel Sharpe would definitely under- stand Tylers feelings as he approached with adult eyes the buildings which would house his work. I was a kid the last time I visited Parliament. Theyre gorgeous build- ings which make you proud that you live in the best country in the world. Its still hard to wrap my head around my work sit- ting in the Centre Block. Hard to believe its true. But no doubt its also a perfect setting for the lasting legacy of one mans patriotic sacrifice and the towering talent of another who brought him back to life for all to admire.
