Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

This cenotaph was erected in honoured memory of the men of Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church congregation who sacrificed their lives in World War I and World War II. JOHN RODERICK BAILLIE, JAMES GORDON McLEOD, GEORGE SUTHERLAND, WILLIAM THOMAS BAILLIE, & JOHN HENDERSON McPHERSON
