Listowel
Location: Perth County N 43 44.000 W 080 57.103
At the south-east corner of Wallace Avenue N and Elizabeth Street E.
Beautiful memorial with a long list of names from this small Ontario town. The main memorial is a marlbe stone block with the names of those who gave their lives in the Great War, adorned with a touching statue on top, featuring a kneeling soldier and an angel to comfort him.
Two separate stones mark the Second World War and Korea. The entire memorial is located in a pretty park, across from the town offices.
