Location:  Frontenac County     N 44 24.627   W 76 35.683
At the corner of Wheatley Street and Point Road, at the entrance to the park.
 

This memorial sits in a small parkette, at the entrance to a much larger park.  Proudly sponsored and erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #496, this granite cross was dedicated in September of 1960.  The cross lists no names of those who served, although it does list the years of the major conflicts of the twentieth century.  A simple yet attractive monument to all from this village who have served their country.

On the south side of Highway 7, east of Hastings Avenue.
 
 
 

This memorial is found at the entrance to the Marmora Cemetery, with a small section of the cemetery dedicated to honour those who have served and are buried here.  Four rows of commemorative stones, each with its own remembrance maple leaf, line the pathway to the main cenotaph.  The main memorial lists the names of those from this area who served and died in the World Wars.  This is one of the few memorials which lists more names lost in World War II than lost in World War I.
The memorial is made from a single slab of grey granite.  It was erected by the British Empire Service League, also known as the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #237, which is located almost directly across the road from the cemetery.

THE BATTLE OF VIMY RIDGE
APRIL 9, 1917

ALWAYS SEEKING THE ELUSIVE BREAKTHROUGH, THE ALLIES PLANNED A MASSIVE OFFENSIVE IN EARLY 1917.  THE CANADIAN CORPS WITH ALL FOUR OF ITS DIVISIONS WOULD DELIVER AN ATTACK AGAINST VIMY RIDGE.  THE RIDGE WAS THE KEY TO THE HINDENBURG LINE IN THE GERMAN DEFENCE SYSTEM.  THE VICTORY AT VIMY RIDGE CAME SWIFTLY.  IT DID NOT COME WITHOUT COST.  3,598 DEAD AND 10,602 CASUALTIES.  THIS VICTORY WAS THE PROFOUND TURNING POINT FOR THE ALLIES, AS A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THE WAR WAS OVER.

Location:  City of Hamilton     N 43 16.054   W 79 57.793
On the south-west corner of King Street west and market Street South, in front of the Community Centre.
 

A beautiful statue stands high above the corner, honouring the brave men of this village who fought and died in the World Wars.  Two bronze plaques list the names of the dead from each of the World Wars, while smaller plaques pay tribute to the Korean War and the conflict in Afghanistan.  The original plaque also lists the South African War and the names of two soldiers who died in that war.
The memorial was erected in 1921 in Memorial Park, and moved to this location in the 1960's.  The name appearing on the base of the sculpture indicates Hamilton McCarthy of Ottawa, as the creator of the statue. 
A wonderful tribute to the brave heroes of this area, forever remembered in our hearts.
