Poplar Hill

 
Location:  Middlesex County     N 43 00.291   W 81 30.786
In Poplar Hill Park, off of Poplar Hill Road.
 

This memorial is dedicated to the men of Lobo Township who made the supreme sacrifice in the two World Wars.  The Memorial Park was established in 1919 to honour those lost in the Great War.
The back of the memorial is dedicated to the pioneers and settlers of Lobo.  A black metal fence guards the memorial from curious passers by, although a gate does allow access.  This park can be very busy at times with many different activities happening, so this small level of protection is welcome in this instance, as not everyone understands the respect that should be given to local cenotaphs.   Lest We Forget.
