A beautiful memorial erected in 1921, features a statue with a young soldier huddled over a cross, engraved with the words "In Flanders Fields".   The names of those lost in the two Great Wars and Korea are engraved in the Soldier's Memorial, a fitting tribute to the men of Seaforth and surrounding farmland.
