Lindsay

Location:  Kawartha Lakes Region   N 44 21.255   W 78 44.432
In front of the library, at the corner of Victoria Avenue N and Kent Street W.

Lindsay has long been a bastion of military support, playing host to the storied Midland Regiment and the incomparable Sir Sam Hughes.  The cenotaph, located in front of the public library is proud to honour the brave men of this area who fought in the World Wars.  Originally erected after the First World War, the names of the dead are engraved on the back of the marble shaft.  After the Second World War, a second slab of stone was added at ground level with the names of those lost in the that conflict, and finally one last name was added after the Korean War.
A bronze statue of a resting soldier stands tall on top of the beautiful monument.  The sides of the cenotaph list the names of many of the famous battles of the Great War.
