Merrickville Cenotaph

The Merrickville Cenotaph accompanied by a 25 pounder field piece occupy Cenotaph Park on the east side of St. Lawrence Street between Drummond Street East and Lewis Street East in Merrickville.





IN LOVING MEMORY
OF THOSE
WHO SERVED AND DIED
1914-1918


Spirit that made these Heroes dare
To die or leave their children free,
Bid time and Nature gently spare
The Cairn we raise to them and thee.
(EMERSON)

KOREAN WAR, 1950-53

IN LOVING MEMORY FOR
THOSE WHO SERVED AND
THOSE WHO DIED, IN THE
CONFLICT.

This stone podium has room for a lectern for use in remembrance ceremonies.
