Brighton

Location:  Northumberland County   N 44 02.524  W 077 44.386
In a park on the north side of Main Street, at Kingsley Avenue.

One of the newest memorials in Ontario, replacing the old memorial with a more updated and bilingual  version.  It is my understanding that the brass plaques of the old memorial, which was unveiled in 1927 by Sir Arthur Currie, will be on display in the local Legion Branch 100 Brighton.
This new memorial was unveiled in October of 2012 in Memorial Park, on the same spot as the old.  Featuring an impressive piece of granite, with the names of all those lost from the local community, and the many conflicts our forces have endured.
