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 memorial is dedicated to those of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force who died on duty in Canada.  Several personal military gravestones are located beside the main memorial.  Deseronto was one of several small towns in Ontario which hosted air training establishments.  In this area there were two flying schools, Camp Rathburn and Camp Mohawk, which operated between 1917 and 1918.
