The Wing 424 T33 aircraft was moved from CFB Mountain View to Cornwall in 1974.  The pylon, made of solid reinforced concrete with a large footing, was constructed on site by a local contractor. An active member of the 424 Wing, Frank (Doc) Roberts, a former RCAF rigger, volunteered to design and fit the cradle on top of the pylon and supervised the actual mounting of the air craft.

The T33 was erected on September 27, 1974 and the brass memorial plaque was donated by John Leroux, an associate member at the time.

In 2000, the BCATP Memorial was dedicated during the Battle of Britain Ceremony at 424 Wing. An identical plaque was presented to the village of St. Eustache where there was a training location during the 1940s.

BATTLE OF CRYSLER’S FARM 1813

In November 1813, an American army of some 8000 men,
commanded by Major-General James Wilkinson, moved down
the St. Lawrence en route to Montreal. Wilkinson was followed
and harassed by a British corps of observation consisting
of about 800 regulars, militia and Indians commanded by
Lieut.-Col Joseph Morrison. On November 11, Morrison’s force,
established in a defensive position on John Crysler’s farm,
was attacked by a contingent of the American army numbering
about 4000 men commanded by Brigadier-General J.P. Boyd.
The hard fought engagement ended with the Americans’
withdrawal from the battlefield. This reverse, combined with
the defeat of another invading army at Chateauguay on October
26, saved Canada from conquest in 1813.

The Battle of Hill 70
Lens, France
15 – 18 August, 1917

The Battle of Hill 70 has been called the forgotten battle of the First World War of 1914 – 1918. Unlike famous battles in which Canadian soldiers took part, such as Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele, no monument has ever been erected to remember what happened there. Only in the community of Mountain, Ontario is there a memorial expressly dedicated to this important Canadian victory.

In the summer of 1917, Canadian General Sir Arthur Currie was promoted and made the General Officer Commanding of the Canadian Corps of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. For the first time, and for the remainder of the war, all four divisions of the Canadian Corps would be under Canadian command.

On July 7, 1917, the British High Command ordered General Currie and the Canadian Corps to capture the French city of Lens from its German occupiers. Seeing that the city was heavily fortified and easily defended, General Currie proposed that the Canadians instead storm Hill 70, the higher ground north of Lens.

Beginning on Aug. 1, 1917, the Canadian artillery bombarded the German trenches and defences on and in the vicinity of Hill 70. The artillery, for the first time in history aided through real-time observation by radio-equipped aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps, targeted the German defensive positions and gun batteries for two weeks.

At 4:25 A.M. on August 15, 1917 more than 5,000 Canadian infantrymen of the 1st and 2nd Division went over the top and went forward from their trenches preceded by a rolling barrage of shells fired by over 200 Canadian artillery pieces. The rapidity of the Canadian attack took the German defenders by surprise and most of the Canadian objectives were quickly captured.

Despite heavy enemy artillery fire including with newly-invented mustard gas shell, the Canadians consolidated their gains and awaited the German counterattacks. Over the next four days and nights, the Germans would launch attack after attack to try to push the Canadians off Hill 70. None succeeded, as the Canadians tenaciously defended the hill, despite the sweltering summer heat wave, the clouds of poison gas, the ceaseless artillery shelling, and the murderous machine gun fire sweeping the battlefield. Ammunition and water ran low, and fighting often was hand-to-hand, Casualties were heavy on both sides. But the Canadians never relented.

By the end of August 18, the Germans had been completely defeated. No fewer than twenty-one counterattacks had been fought off.

This victory cemented the reputation of the Canadian soldiers as being elite “shock troops” who were among the best Allied troops to fight in the war. The cost was high. The Canadian Corps suffered 5843 casualties during the Battle of Hill 70 including 1505 killed, 4297 wounded and 41 taken prisoner. In all, the Corps suffered 8677 casualties during the fighting of Lens between August 15 and 25, 1917.

La bataille de la Côte 70
Lens, France
Du 15 au 18 août 1917

La bataille de la Côte 70 a été souvent désignée lade la Première Guerre mondiale 1914-1918. Contrairement célèbres batailles où les soldats canadiens ont pris part, comme la crête de Vimy et à Passchendaele, aucun monument a été érigée pour commémorer les événements entourant cette bataille. Il n’existe qu’un seul monument spécifiquement désigné pour rappeler cette importante victoire canadienne; il est situé dans la communauté de «Mountain» en Ontario.

À l’été 1917, le Général canadien Sir Arthur Currie, a été promu le grade du Commandant général  du Corps canadien de la Force expéditionnaire canadienne. Pour le première fois, et cela jusqu’à la fin de la guerre, les quatre divisions du Corps canadien demeureront sous le commandement canadien.

Le 7 juillet 1917, le Haut Commandement britannique a donné ordre au Commandant Currie et du Corps d’infanterie canadien de reprendre la ville française de Lens occupée par le Allemands. Ayant observé que la ville était bien fortifié assurant une défense facile, le Général Currie a préféré envahir la Côte 70, le point le plus élevé situé au nord de la ville de Lens.

Le 1er août 1917, l’artillerie canadienne a amorcé le bombardement des tranchées et des systèmes de défense de la Côte 70 elle-même et de son environnement immédiat. L’artillerie, pour la première fois de l’histoire soutenue simultanément par l’aviation britannique en contact radio avec les forces canadiennes, a ciblé les positions de défense allemande et leurs batteries pendantes deux semaines.

À 04 :25h, le 15 août 1917, plus de 5000 soldats d’infanterie des Premières et Deuxième Divisons se sont lancés à l’assaut de la Côte 70, un mouvement précédé par un barrage soutenu d’obus provenant de plus de 200 pièces de l’artillerie canadienne. La rapidité de l’attaque canadienne a pris les soldats allemands par surprise et la plupart des objectifs des canadiens ont été atteints.

En dépit du feu intense de l’artillerie ennemie incluant les nouveaux obus contenant le «gaz moutarde», les Canadiens ont consolidé leurs gains sans toutefois ignorer les futures contre-attaques inévitables des forces allemandes. Au cours des quatre jours suivants, jour et nuit, les Allemands ont multiplié leurs attaques afin de déloger les canadiens de la Côte 70 avec ténacité en dépit d’une chaleur d’été étouffante, des nuages de gaz empoisonné, des bombardements d’artillerie sans arrêt et du balayage meurtrier du champ de bataille aux armes automatique. Les munitions et l’eau ont atteint un bas niveau et souvent les combats finissaient en corps à corps. Des deux côtés, les pertes étaient lourdes, mais les Canadiens n’ont jamais cédé.

À la fin de la journée du 18 août, les soldats allemands sont défaits. Les Canadiens avaient résisté à pas moins de vingt et une contre-attaque.

Cette victoire a consolidé la réputation des soldats canadiens comme étant l’élite des «troupes de choc» et les meilleurs soldats parmi les troupes alliés. Le coût était élevé. Durant la bataille de la Côte 70, les pertes se sont élevées à 5843 soldats dont 1505 morts, 4297 blessés et 41 d’entre eux fait prisonniers. Au cours de la bataille à Lens, qui a durée du 15 au 25 août 1917, le Corps canadien a perdu 8677 hommes.

The Hill 70 Memorial was unveiled by the Town of Mountain in 1922 and is dedicated to the First World War Battle of Hill 70 near Lens, France. It was rededicated on September 16, 2012.

The memorial was restored by the Mountain and District Lions Club. There is now an interlocking brick platform resting on top of the original hill, a base for the flagpole, an access ramp and lighting for the main monument. Eastern Ontario Cemetery Memorials created two black granite storyboards with text in English and French. The larger of the two describes the battle itself and the second focuses on the founding of the Mountain Memorial Community Park.

Stones from the original site sit to the left and right of the main large black granite slab. The captured German machine gun, which was the centerpiece of the original memorial, is also to the left of the main column.

The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned.  Unable to locate a photograph of Clifford, the general list cap badge which was a standard badge worn by soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, is etched into his memorial.

Clifford stood 5 foot 7 inches, had brown hair, blue eyes and a faint scar on the first finger of his left hand. He was a farm laborer before the war and sailed from Halifax on 19 June 1916 aboard the RMS Missanabie which arrived in France 10 September 1916. An attack north of Courcelette on the 21/22 of October 1916 resulted in his death. 

The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.

On a hot November 1953 day, Major J. A. McNeil, of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, was master of ceremonies for the unveiling of the Williamstown Cenotaph. Major McNeil was a native son of Williamstown who served his country with distinction. He called on a lady who sent five sons to war (four returned) and a padre recently returned from active service to unveil the impressive monument. It was erected by the Williamstown Community Club.

The observance began with a parade from the high school to the square led by four veterans carrying the colours of Williamstown and Claude Nunney, V.C., Lancaster and branches of the Canadian Legion. The members of both branches in their blue berets and wearing their medals, under command of Legionnaire John McLaren of Lancaster, followed. The high school cadets and the Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry pipe band walked behind the Legion members. The cadets, both boys and girls, Legionnaires and Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry Highlanders officers snapped to the salute as a new Union Jack was broken out from the staff, over the square for the first time, by war veteran, Parade Marshall Rene Rozon.

A choir from Williamstown Public School sang "Canada Proudly We Hail Thee". As the staff flag moved slowly to half-mast, Major McNeill called for two minutes of silence. It was broken by the Last Post and Reveille from the bugle of Percy Smith, bandmaster Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron 325 Kiwanis of Cornwall. Pipe Major Bert Sutherland piped a lament. A wreath for the Silver Cross Mothers of Canada was laid at the foot of the cenotaph by Mrs. Helen Daoust of Williamstown; by Dennis Lynch of Lancaster for the Legion; and by Capt. D. J. Coshman, another Williamstown native, for the Highlanders. Following the wreath-laying the school children sang the hymn "Now Thank We All Our God".

This memorial honours all those who served in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Merchant Marine during the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and Peacekeeping. It is placed between the Moose Creek Medical Centre and the Fire Hall. Construction began on August 10, 1995 and it was dedicated on October 28, 1995. As it was the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, it was felt to be the right time for such a project.

This memorial is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 108 in 1954.

The memorial was relocated to the entrance area of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, following the reconstruction for the hospital in 2009. The Winchester District Memorial Hospital Second World War Plaque is located inside the hospital with the names of those from this area who died in the Second World War.  

In 2019, two slabs were added to the cenotaph in honour of Canada's participation in Afghanistan and peacekeeping operations. The new cenotaph was unveiled and re-dedicated on June 15, 2019.
