Palmerston

Location:  Wellington County   N 43 49.980  W 080 51.010
On the north-east corner of Bell and James Streets, beside the library.

Very nice statue on a stone pillar, resting in a small park beside the Palmerston Carnegie Library.  As typical of most small-town memorials, this was first erected to honour those lost in the Great War of 1914-18, and later updated to add the names of those lost in the Second World War and Korea.
