Restoule

 

Location:  Parry Sound District   N 46 01.618  W 079 43.976
In front of the Legion, 50 Hawthorne Drive.
 

In front of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 639, you will find two memorials.  The first is the original memorial erected in 1939 by the Restoule Women's Institute.  It was first located in front of Restoule Public School, which was closed in 1992, and later re-opened as the Legion in 1995.  The stone was refurbished in September 1997, and still rests against the wall of the Legion.

The second memorial, and the most recent was an updated version of the original stone, with the additions of World War II and Korea.  This new cairn sits in front of the old memorial, and is a proud testament of the dedication of the citizens of Restoule to remember those who served.

Trenton

 
Location:  Hastings County  N 44 06.024  W 077 34.513
At the intersection of Quinte Street and Fraser Park Road.
 

Trenton is famous as a military town, being home to CFB Trenton and the National Air Force Museum, let us not forget the sacrifice made by the citizens of this town, in the service of our country.
The memorial is situated in a triangular-shaped memorial park, and the cenotaph itself is also triangular in shape, representing the three main branches of service, namely Army, Air Force and Navy. 
The memorial was constructed in 1968, based on a design by Carl Taylor.  In 1988, it was re-dedicated once again with the addition of two smaller blocks to commemorate the  re-dedication of the memorial and to recognize the losses of the crew of H.M.C.S. Trentonian.  The Trentonian was lost to torpedoes during a convoy mission, after serving bravely at Normandy and the Battle of the Atlantic.
