Uxbridge

Location:  Durham Region  N 44 06.519  W 079 07.355
On the southeast corner of Brock Street and Toronto Street, in front of the library.

This memorial is proudly dedicated to those from Uxbridge and District who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected by the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) and the citizens of Uxbridge.  All the names on the cenotaph are from the Great War, along with the crests of the Canadian Expeditionary Forces, which they joined.  A brass plaque on the front bears the names of the dead, and the back hosts the names of those who returned.  A limestone statue of a soldier stands guard atop the memorial.  It appears that the rifle he is holding was replaced in more recent times.   A painted mural across the road also pays tribute to the warriors of the day.
