Brussels

Location:  Huron County   N 43 44.530  W 081 15.093
On the west side of Turnberry Street, near the south end of town, beside the Legion.

The very nice memorial sits beside the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #218, and is dedicated to the men of Brussels, Morris and Grey.  This is a small farming community, which was celebrating its 140th anniversary at the time of my visit.
The memorial consists of three granite shafts, the centre shaft in honour of those who died in World War I, the two outer shafts dedicated to World War II.  I believe the memorial was erected at first after the Great War, and the second shafts added after the Second War.
