This is one of four memorials in the Seely's Bay area, this particular memorial is erected by the Citizens of Rear of Leeds and Lansdowne Township.  The plot of land for the cemetery and the memorial was donated by Hammett Lillie.  The area of the memorial is at the south end of the cemetery, standing on its own in a place of solemn remembrance.  The memorial honours the local men of this township who paid the ultimate price in World War II.  Their names and ranks are forever engraved in the grey marble stone.
