Located on the west side of Metcalfe Street, in downtown Elora.

Located in a town square in downtown Elora, this tall memorial was first dedicated to those who died in the Great War.  The Second World War and Korea inscriptions were added later.  One of the interesting features of this memorial is the large outline of a maple leaf on the ground creating a border around the area.
