Bath

 

Location:   Hastings County   N 44 11.818  W 076 44.341
In front of the Legion, at 120 County Road 4.

Very nice and fairly new memorial in front of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 623.  The memorial is flanked by a large anchor(with its own plaque) and a captured German machine gun.  The Bath Legion, as with most other legions, is very active in the community, a centre of activity.  The memorial list the major conflicts of the twentieth century, and acknowledges the contribution of Canada's peacekeepers.
