Lancaster

Location:  County of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry
N 45 08.452  W 074 29.980
On the north side of Duncan Street, just east of Main Street.

Originally erected in 1921, by the Red Cross Society of Glengarry, to honour those from this district who died in the First World War.  At first, this memorial consisted of a single marble shaft with a large brass plaque.  The memorial was later renovated with two new marble shafts, and the original brass plaque was refurbished to its present-day condition.  The second shaft bears the names of those lost in World War II, Korea and Afghanistan.
A pleasant park greets the visitor, with benches and landscaping in keeping with the solemn message of remembrance.  One of the trees was planted in 2009 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of flight in Canada.  Take time to reflect, and admire the sacrifice of the long list of names from the Glengarry region.
