Millgrove

 
Location:  City of Hamilton     N 43 20.213   W 79 57.479
Near the entrance to the Millgrove Cemetery, 877 Millgrove Sideroad.
 

The small community of Millgrove was part of the former Township of West Flamborough, now part of the City of Hamilton.  The cemetery is full of history, dating back to the United Empire Loyalists.
The memorial is a red granite stone with the names of the men who lost their lives in the World Wars, nine in World War I, two in World War II.  The memorial is not overly fancy or flashy, but stands in solemn modesty among the other gravestones found in this quiet cemetery.
