Penetanguishene

Location:  Simcoe County   N 44 46.063   W 079 55.974
On the east side of Main Street, in Memorial Park.

 

A very nice memorial, made of large bricks, dedicated to those who fell during the two Great Wars.  A smaller plaque was added later to recognize those lost in the Korean War.  Penetanguishene has been the home of a military presence since before the days of the War of 1812, providing a valuable port and link between the Great Lakes.  During the Great Wars, the men of this area continued their valuable contribution by serving gallantly overseas and giving their lives when called upon.
