In November 1837, some 250 Patriots gathered in Saint-Antoine and crossed the river to fight at Saint-Denis, answering a call from George-Étienne Cartier, one of Papineau’s lieutenants. The obelisk is made of wood and measures approximately 20 feet high, with a cement base on which have been installed three plaques bearing the names of the 15 known Patriots from Saint-Antoine. It also bears the Saint-Antoine coat of arms. The memorial was erected on May 24, 1987 by the 150th anniversary municipal commission.

THIS GUN CAPTURED AT THE BATTLE OF ODELLTOWN AND PRESENTED BY THE GOVERNOR GENERAL TO COLONEL EDWARD MARCH WAS DONATED BY HIS GRANDCHILDREN IN 1924 TO THE DOMINION OF CANADA.

La Bataille d'Odelltown
Battle of Odelltown

Après l'échec de l'insurrection de 1837, des membres du parti des patriotes, rassemblés aux États-Unis sous la conduite de Robert Nelson, proclamèrent la République du Bas-Canada et tentèrent de revnerser le gouvernement. L'invastion de 1838, médiocrement organisée et mal ravitaillée, fut un échec. Le 8 novembre, l'armée se replia sur Odelltown. Les 9 et 10 novembre, elle attaqua la milice d'Odelltown mais celle-ci, soutenue par des renforts, la repoussa. Nelson s'échappa mais la dispersion de ses forces mit fin à l'avenuture.

Following the failure of the 1837 rebellion, a fraction of the partriote party gathered in the United States under the leadership of Robert Nelson to proclaim the Republic of Lower Canada and plot the overthrow of the government. Their invasion in 1838, however, was a fiasco, largely due to poor planning and inadequate supplies, and on November 8 the rebel force retreated toward Odelltown. On November 9 and 10 they attacked the defending militia, but were finally replulsed by reinforcements. Although Nelson escaped, the subsequent dispersal of his men virtually ended the insurrection.

Inauguré le 10 mai 2015, le monument aux soldats disparus nous rappelle ces courageux jeunes hommes d’Amqui décédés à la guerre et du grand vide que leur perte a cause dans la communauté.

 

Mi-autel, mi-tombeau, son esthétique tend vers un idéal de paix; la colombe placée sur le casque militaire soulignant le temps révolu des combats.

 

Après tout, cette paix qui est le nôtre aujourd’hui nous a d’abord été léguée par tous ceux-là qui ont donné leur vie pour elle.

It commemorates the 18,000 Jewish men and women who served in the Canadian Armed Forces, and the 1.5 million who served in all the Allied Armed Forces.
