Lyn
Location: Leeds and Grenville County N 44° 34.663 W 075° 46.675
At the edge of town, on Main Street (County Rd 46), overlooking a cemetery at the original site of the first Methodist Chapel in Canada.
Created in 2006 as a heritage project, this memorial stands tall overlooking the cemetery. The names of those who served and where lost are inscribed on the wall. A local millstone adorns the top of the memorial.
One of the names listed is that of Lt-Col Thain W. MacDowell, who was decorated with the Victoria Cross, for his bravery during the attack on Vimy Ridge.
Marker text: (names of those killed are marked with an "+" and highlighted, wounded marked with an "*".)
