Orangeville

 
 

Location:  N 43 55.234  W 080 05.665  On the southeast corner of Second Street and First Avenue, behind the Town Hall, in Alexandra Park.

This cenotaph was constructed in 1923, by Dufferin County, to honour those lost in the First World War.  It has since been adapted to include World War 2, Korea and Afghanistan.
There is also another memorial in this park to recognize those who have served, more on this at another time.
