Omemee

 

Location:   Kawartha Lakes     N 44 17.944   W 78 33.591
46 King Street East, beside Coronation Hall.
 

The Omemee District War Memorial is flanked by a German trench mortar and a cannon with no markings.  There is also a plaque dedicated to Victoria Cross award winner Harry Brown, who also has a plaque in his hometown of Gananoque.  I posted the two plaques for Pte. Brown in January, 2012.
This memorial, a carved stele of grey marble, lists the names of the war dead of the World Wars and Korea.  Found in a well-cared for memorial park, Omemee remains proud of its brave soldiers.
