Newfoundland & Labrador

The bronze soldier and epitaph are dedicated to the memory of Grand Bank men who made the supreme sacrifice in the Frist World War. The names of the war victims are written on the bronze tablets, and those of the Second World war are on tablets in the Memorial Library.

This memorial was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 25 in honour of the local war dead of the Second World War.

Erected by the Great War Veterans' Association - the predecessor of the Royal Canadian Legion -, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. This simple, yet noble, memorial takes the shape of a straight shaft of blue-grained marble, which is set in a rough granite base. The badge of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, enclosed by Laurel wreath, is carved on the North side of shaft, while underneath is a list of engagements in which the Regiment fought. On the west side of the shaft is carved the following verses: "In Flanders Fields the poppies blow..." while on the east side is carved crossed rifles and an Ensign enclosed in a wreath of laurels, underneath which is a list of causalities, engagements, and dates. The memorial, which stands about 16 feet high, was erected by the well-known firm of J.D. Steel Monumental Works, North Sydney, Canada, and erected by the citizens of Fortune under the auspices of the Fortune Branch, G.W.V.A., in memory of their fallen heroes and comrades. The Fortune War Memorial was unveiled with deep solemnity on September 27 by Dr. MacDonald, J.P., in the presence of 800 people from Fortune and Grand Bank. A message from His Excellency the Governor was read by Capt. G.J. Whitty, M.C., expressing regret at his unavoidable absence. Addresses were also made by Rev. Mr. Howse, Dr. MacDonald, Ensign Carnick, T.E. Spencer and J.R. Dixon, secretary of the Fortune Branch. The Rev. Young pronounced the dedication prayer and the ceremony proceeded amidst great solemnity. The floral tributes were many. The firing party, under Lieut. W.C. Hawker, manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, assisted by Bugler Cook, performed their duties with military precision. The memorial is a splendid tribute from the people of Fortune to the memory of her gallant lads who made the supreme sacrifice. The G.W.V.A. and people of Fortune are worthy of all praise in subscribing the entire cost of this memorial and thus perpetuating the memory of their fallen townsmen by handing down to posterity a monument that will stimulate, elevate and inspire youth for many generations to come as they recall the magnitude of the deeds performed and the sacrifice of Fortune's honoured dead.

The Brinston and Stacey Memorial was first erected at United Church on Sound Island, Placentia Bay. It was dedicated to Private Angus Brinston and Private Alfred Stacey, two local war dead of the First World War. In the mid 1950s, the memorial was relocated to Memorial United Church in Garden Cove.

The hardwood top was machined from laminated mahogany and after several decades had to be removed. In 2018, the memorial was refurbished through community fundraising, donated labour and funding from Veterans Affairs Canada.
