Linwood

Location:  Waterloo Region  N 43 35.009  W 80 43.754
In front of the Linwood Community Centre, off of Township Road 11.
 

A very nice memorial created by the local community, to honour those lost in the World Wars.  This is a small farming community on the outskirts of Waterloo, many of the area residents are of Mennonite descent.  Linwood is home to one of the largest farm animal vet clinics in Ontario.  The names listed on this memorial represented a serious blow to the local culture and economy at the time.  Such is the sacrifice that was made by almost everyone in the times of war.  This memorial was presented by the Linwood Veterans Club.
