Little Current


Location:  N 45 58.877   W 081 55.611   Found in a nice park on the north side of Water Street, in downtown Little Current.

This memorial was originally erected to honour those lost in the two World Wars.  Their names appear on the memorial and a single plaque to remember the Korean War was added later, and appears at the front of the base.  A World War I soldier stands at attention on the top of the statue.
