On the east side of County Road 38, beside the Oddfellows Lodge.
 

A very simple memorial, found in a picturesque hamlet along the back roads of Ontario.  The memorial was constructed in 1956, consisting of a fieldstone cairn as the base of a flagpole, with a plaque on the face of the cairn.  The local Women's Institute was the driving force behind the construction of this memorial.
Even the smallest of hamlets can find a way to pay honour to those who served their country.
