This memorial was erected in 1920 by Hayes Bros. of St. Mary's, on behalf of the Women's Institute of Granton and the Township of Biddulph.  It features the names of the brave soldiers of this area who died in the World Wars.  A statue of Italian Marble stands at ease over the names and memories of his fallen comrades.
