Cornwall - Silver Cross Remembrance Park

 

Location: Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry County.

N 45.046068    W 74.749285

This cenotaph is situated at the Silver Cross Remembrance Park at the corner of Pitt St and Tollgate Rd E.

 

The park has just a wrought iron gate with a bed of flowers under it and a cenotaph.

The cenotaph itself is very simple, divided into three panels. On top of the middle panel, engraved is the Memorial Cross also known as the Silver Cross.

The Memorial Cross, established in 1919, is a Canadian medal awarded to the mother, widow, widower or next of kin of any member of the Canadian Forces who lost their life in active service including peacekeeping and other international operations.

Every year, a Silver Cross Mother (chosen by the Royal Canadian Legion) is chosen amongst the mothers who received the medal, to lay a wreath during the Remembrance Day ceremony at the National War Memorial.

The Memorial (Silver) Cross Medal, can be worn by the recipients anytime. It is engraved with the name, rank and service number of their child or spouse.

*Special thanks to Louise Bellec for the photos and information.
