Warsaw

Location:  Peterborough County   N 44 25.817   W 078 08.231
On the east side of the corner of Mill and Water Streets.

 

This memorial is dedicated to those brave men of Dummer Township who gave their lives in the First World War.  Erected in 1921, by the local memorial committee.  A stone soldier stands at attention at the top of the memorial, while below him inscribed in the stone are the words 'OUR HEROES'.  A brass plaque lists the names and dates of death of these local heroes.  Seeing the dates of the day they fell, gives a sad feel to the loss of a small community, as indeed the last days of the Great War were the most devastating.
