Location:  Middlesex County     N 43 06.718   W 81 33.414
At 4441 Queens Avenue, in front of East Williams Memorial Public School.
 

Also known as the East Williams Cenotaph, this memorial was erected in May of 1922, to honour those from East Williams Township who fought and died in the First World War.  Five more names were added after the Second World War, to honour the brave men lost in that war.
The school in which the memorial stands in front of, was opened in 1952, so I am not sure if the memorial was moved here from another location or this is the original location.
