Parham

 

Location:  Frontenac County     N 44 39.222   W 76 42.973
On the east side of County Road 38, beside the Oddfellows Lodge.
 

A very simple memorial, found in a picturesque hamlet along the back roads of Ontario.  The memorial was constructed in 1956, consisting of a fieldstone cairn as the base of a flagpole, with a plaque on the face of the cairn.  The local Women's Institute was the driving force behind the construction of this memorial.
Even the smallest of hamlets can find a way to pay honour to those who served their country.



Marker text:
IN GRATEFUL TRIBUTE
TO THOSE WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY
IN TIME OF WAR
PARHAM W.I.
NOV. 11, 1956
