Holstein

 
Location:  Grey County     N 44 03.554   W 80 45.579
On the east side of County Road 109, south of the river, near the centre of town.
 

The Holstein Cenotaph was constructed in 1920 "In Loving Memory of the Men from Egremont Township who gave up their Lives while serving King and Country during The Great War 1914-1918". Their names are on the cenotaph. It was re-dedicated in 1946 to honour the veterans who died in the Second World War (1939-1945). Their names were added to the cenotaph.

This memorial was a present surprise, as I had no idea this small community would be home to such a beautiful cenotaph with such a long list of soldiers who served their country.
