Kincardine

 

Location:  Bruce County     N 44 10.731   W 81 38.231
In front of the Legion, 219 Lambton Street.
 
 

This memorial is found in front of the Royal Canadian Legion MacDonald Branch #183, a beautiful old structure in the heart of Kincardine.  A military shaped marker declares this to be "Military Hill".  Along with the memorial featuring the names of those lost in the World Wars, the Legion has a mural on the side of the building and a concrete pyramid of smaller personal memorials erected by it's members.  I found this to be very touching, something we do not often see.
The main memorial was erected here in 1978, when it was moved from the branch's previous location.  Accompanying the stone with the names of the lost local heroes, is a red granite cross.
A very attractive Legion branch in a scenic town, this memorial is worth visiting if you are in the area.
