Found on the east side of Homestead Drive, behind the library.
A fairly recent addition to the world of war memorials, is
this unique offering from the village of Mt. Hope. The main structure
features 3 pillars, each with the modern day crest of the primary branches of
the Canadian Armed Forces (Army, Air Force, Navy). Below, on the base,
are the names of those lost in the World Wars, as well as the men who perished while
training at the nearby flight school, at the Mt. Hope Airport, now home to the
famous Warplane Heritage Museum.
