In Central Park, at the corner of Broad Street West and Cedar Street.
The Dunnville cenotaph consists of a stone cross and small garden in the town's main park. Bordered by nearby water parks and playgrounds, this memorial was erected by the Town of Dunnville to honour the memories of those who fought in the World Wars and Korea.
The town and the Legion are currently investigating the possibility of moving and improving the cenotaph to the large waterfront park along the Grand River.

ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment. I have not forgotten about the Boer War, however this is not mentioned on the Dunnville Memorial. There is a very nice memorial in nearby Cayuga that does pay tribute to the Boer War, which I will be featuring next month.
