Interesting video, few comments: there are actually 11,285 names on the monument. When looking at the two pylons, Allward didn't specifically mention what / who they represented, although, thanks to hints and as commonly shared with visitors at the site, we can confidently say that most likely represent France and Canada. One tower marked by St-George's Cross and the other marked by a Fleur-de-lis. The video than wrongfully shows The Torch Bearer, located between the two towers. Canada Bereft, aka Mother Canada, is located just a bit lower, overlooking the Tomb of the unknown soldier down below.
