Sebright

 

Location:  Simcoe County     N 44.69461   W -79.16123
South of Sebright, on the west side of 5808 Kirkfield Road, in the graveyard.
 


This memorial is found in the graveyard beside the Sebright United Church.  It is a red granite stone engraved with the names of three men from this area who died in the Great War.  I had passed this location on several occasions and never knew it was here, special thanks to Lisa R. for alerting me to this memorial and others in the area.
Also found in this cemetery are military graves of other men who served our country, and are buried here.
