Buckhorn

  

 

Location:  Peterborough County  N 44 33.214  W 078 21.681
In front of the Buckhorn Community Centre, on Lakehurst Road (Regional Road 37).

 

This memorial was erected in 2019, to replace the aging memorial that was originally erected in 1947 and later moved to this location.  I featured the original memorial in November 2012 for those who wish to look back.  http://ontariowarmemorials.blogspot.com/2012/11/buckhorn.html

The new memorial is in the style of a red granite maple leaf.  It features a Remembrance Walkway lined with stones to honour those who served.  The names of the local men who died in the World Wars and Afghanistan are engraved in the memorial labelled "Heroes of Yesterday".  The names are the same as those found on the original memorial.  A very well-done memorial to honour those who paid the ultimate price for freedom.
