Lamp of Brotherhood

[3] In 1950, they organized a visit of families of those who had died in the war to several sites, including the Monte Cassino Abbey, where the original Lamp of Brotherhood was placed.

[4][3][2] A ceremony was held in the partially re-built Monte Cassino in 1956, in which Lamps were given to representatives of many nations.

No "Lampada" organization was started in North America, and so the Lamp remained in the custody of Ken and Kay Guthrie.

A Mrs. Stockdale, National President of the Mothers of the Silver Cross Association laid the Lamp at the base of the Cenotaph.

There, the Lamp has been a focal point of the annual Battle of Britain ceremony at the Air Force Garden of Remembrance in Stanley Park.
