Location: Frontenac County N 44.25041 W -76.49894
718 Division Street, across from the police station.
As you enter the cemetery, it will be the first thing you see. A memorial to our soldiers who gave their lives. It is a simple one, even with no names, but just a few words, it says it all.
The memorial sits on a triangular patch of grass flanked by the Canadian flag on the left. There are a few benches where you can sit. Three stone steps lead to the monument where there is a plaque at the foot of the stele and a G.I. helmet at the left.
