Ontario War Memorials

Index of Memorials

Each year on January 1st, I have published the list of all Ontario War memorials featured on this page, as well as an update to other happenings that have happened in the previous year of memorial research. I apologize for this year's first entry being late. I took a much needed break and will get back to posting when I feel in the spirit once again.

In 2023, I added the lowest number of entries of any previous year, only 38 new locations.

I will continue to post new locations from across our beautiful province as time and expense allows. The recent fuel costs of this past year put a damper on my traveling to areas far from my home base, but hopefully this summer I can get back on the road and visit some of those distant places I have been neglecting. There are so many locations still to post, I vow to try to keep up as best I can. Thanks for your patience, understanding, inquiries, and kind comments.

The following list is in alphabetical order, with the month and year which each memorial was published in these pages. Any location that lists two dates, I would suggest that you refer to only the most recent date for the most updated version. I have also marked in bold print, any memorials that where added in 2022. If you have any questions, suggestions, or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank you all for your kind support.

Location: Leeds and Grenville Counties N 44.49169 W -76.18905

At the south end of Lillies Cemetery, west side of Highway 15, about 4km north of Seely's Bay.

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.

Portland

Location: United Counties of Leeds and Grenville

N 44.69544 W -76.19286

On the north side of Highway 15, at the corner of Colborne Street, the west entrance to the town.

At the western entrance to the village of Portland can be found this impressive monument, dedicated to honouring the names of those from this area who fought and died during the World Wars. The quiet village is nested along the famous Rideau Canal. The memorial is found beside the graveyard of the Emmanuel Anglican Church. The list of names on the plaques indicates that the memorial was erected a short time after WWII and before the Korean War, which is recognized by a separate plaque. Little information can be found regarding this memorial, but the long list of names gives every indication that Portland and its surrounding families made a large contribution and sacrifice in the fight for freedom.
