Kearney

 

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 45 33.370  W 079 12.909
At the entrance to the Legion, on Park Road.

A simple yet effective memorial outside the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 276.  As usual, the Kearney Legion is very active in the local community, hosting events and tending to the needs of our veterans.
The memorial consists of a stone wall with the names of the major wars of the 1900's and a brass plaque with a piece of the famous poem In Flanders Fields.  The memorial was built in 1991 by Robert Murdy.
