Location: Niagara Region N 43.19334 W -79.56610
Beside the Grimsby Museum at 120 Main Street West.
This memorial was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 127. It was dedicated in September 2000, by Brigadier-General Denis Whitaker of the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry, a veteran of World War II. The tall red granite cenotaph lists the major wars and conflicts of the Canadian Forces throughout the years. Two black granite plinths are found beside the main structure and each of these list the Roll of Honour of the names of those lost and those who served in the two World Wars. The area is well-taken care of and sits proudly beside the Grimsby Museum.
