Jusqu’aux années 1930, on peut remarquer que la mémoire canadienne de la Grande Guerre était fragmentée et basée sur des lieux et événements particuliers. Par la suite, elle devient plus nationaliste. Avec la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la mémoire collective semble s’éloigner à nouveau du souvenir de 1914-1918. Pourtant sa commémoration reste importante pour ceux qui ont été directement touchés par cette Grande guerre. Cet article analyse les rites commémoratifs du jour du Souvenir au Canada et s’appuie sur une observation des obsèques publiques de deux héros canadiens, le Général Sir Arthur Currie (1933) et Canon F.G. Scott (1944), pour illustrer les changements qui s’opèrent dans la mémoire collective après 1918.
