Listowel



Location:  Perth County  N 43 44.000  W 080 57.103
At the south-east corner of Wallace Avenue N and Elizabeth Street E.
This location was originally posted in December 2013, but due to photo issues is being re-posted.

Beautiful memorial with a long list of names from this small Ontario town.  The main memorial is a marlbe stone block with the names of those who gave their lives in the Great War, adorned with a touching statue on top, featuring a kneeling soldier and an angel to comfort him.
Two separate stones mark the Second World War and Korea.  The entire memorial is located in a pretty park, across from the town offices.
