Teeswater

 
Location:  Bruce County     N 43 59.926   W 81 17.210
On the east side of Clinton Street South, just south of Union Street.
 

A traditional small town cenotaph with a marble statue of a soldier standing on top of a granite shaft, a metal plaque bearing the names of the dead.  The large plaque on the front of the memorial lists those from Teeswater and Culross, who made the supreme sacrifice in the First World War.  A smaller plaque on the side lists those from the Second World War.  As we have seen on many occasions, the long list of names from the rural farming communities is terribly long considering the size of the area.  The sacrifice made by these heroes was felt by everyone in the community.  Their names will live in the memories of the local families who were changed forever by the price of victory.
