Bancroft

Location:  Hastings County  N 45 03.541  W 077 51.402
Found just south of Station Street, in a park along the east shore of the York River.

This memorial was constructed in 1956, by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 181 Bancroft.  The base is constructed of local fieldstone and contains a marble insert from the original memorial, erected by the Girls Club of the Allies, which shows the names of the dead from The Great War.  The main part of the memorial lists the names of those lost in both World Wars and Korea.
The legion can be found across the road, on the other side of Station Street, and displays a beautiful mural dedicated to those who served across the country.  There is so much detail on this wonderful painting, this is definitely one of my favourites.
