The Sgt. Ralph Bridge was constructed in memory of Sgt. Cornelius Michael Ralph who died serving in with Canadian Peacekeepers’ Operation Harmony in 1992 serving in Croatia.

Captain B.J. Carrigan a captain with the 37 Combat Engineers had this to say, "Somebody else was supposed to move the truck but Mike told them to stay where they were. As he moved it forward, there were several mines underneath the ground they didn't see. It blew his truck and killed Mike.

He loved being an engineer, he loved being a soldier and serving his country. And he did it in the most professional way that anybody could ever do it. It's important for his family, for his grandkids to know that their grandfather and their father and Charlie's husband was an outstanding soldier. And that we should never forget him.”

Sgt. CM Ralph’s widow Lorraine Ralph was at the reopening and dedication of the bridge in 1992 and had this to say about the memorial.

"It shows them that they mean something. To the community, to everyone. Knowing that they put this up out of love, it just fills my heart right up."

"Even though he would've been embarrassed because Mike wasn't somebody that put himself forward and had to have attention. He would've done this for the boys but he'd never expected it to be done to him," she said.

The bridge was originally built in 1994 but later had to have repairs to make it safe for large armored vehicles to cross. Reconstruction costed 3.5 million.

The Oromocto Cenotaph is a grey granite obelisk war memorial with several metal plaques attached, located in a grassed area on MacDonald Avenue in the Town of Oromocto. The Oromocto Cenotaph is designated a Local Historic Place for its importance in highlighting the military history of citizens in the Oromocto region, as well as for its bold architectural design typical of World War cenotaphs throughout Canada.

Erected in 1963 by the citizens of Oromocto in a grassed park setting at the center of the town, the monument is a good example of the post-war stone monuments erected as memorials to the fallen soldiers of World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict, and various Canadian Peacekeeping missions. Three bronze plaques are mounted at the base of the cenotaph listing these events, along with the names of the local fallen soldiers of Wars War I and II. Source: Town of Oromocto, Town Office, Historic Places File, “Oromocto Cenotaph”

The character-defining elements that describe the Oromocto Cenotaph include: - the four meter-high obelisk design incorporating a smooth-faced cut grey granite rectangular shaft topped with a pyramid-shaped angled cap, all on a series of stepped rectangular plinths; - the three cast bronze plaques attached to the front of the cenotaph, listing the dates and local victims of World Wars I and II, the dates of the Korean Conflict, and elements of the Canadian Peacekeeping missions; - the larger park grounds surrounding the obelisk, with five flagpoles and shrub planting.
