Mansfield

 

Location:  Simcoe County, Mulmur Township   N 44 10.276   W 080 02.327 
Located in the Mansfield Community Park on the west side of Airport Road, one hundred metres north of the traffic lights.

A stone cairn with brass plaque dedicated to those who died and those who served in the two world wars.  A smaller plaque for Korea was added later.  Oddly enough, the original layout of the cairn had the plaques facing out towards Airport Road, sometime in recent years the plaques have been moved to the other side of the cairn and now face in towards the community park.
