Arnprior had a wooden pillar without any inscribed names, which was considered as a town memorial. An editorial for the Arnprior Chronicle on 29 November 1951, by B.V. Bedore echoed wider public sentiment when he called for the construction of a public memorial. Soon after, the Arnprior Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion formed the Cenotaph Committee.
Made up of several Veterans of both the First and Second World Wars, the Cenotaph Committee was chaired by J.J. Greene, with the support of Mayor Robert Simpson, regional Women's Institutes and local residents. The committee collected the names to be inscribed on the memorial, necessary funding, and secured a location for construction.
The Arnprior Cenotaph was installed by Remembrance Day ceremonies on 11 November 1952 and officially dedicated in July 1953 by the Honourable Brooke Claxton, then Minister of National Defence. It honours those who fought and died during the First and Second World Wars and Korean War. At this time, the name of Desmond Trudeau, who died in the Korean War in 1953, was added to the cenotaph.
By the late 1990s, the cenotaph was in need of restoration. The Arnprior Legion formed a committee to fix a large crack in the base and to have installed a new granite slab over the deteriorated limestone face. It was restored in 1998. With assistance from volunteers of the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives, several new names were added and others corrected from the original inscription.

Prince Edward
County Memorial
In June of 1908, the Sir Thomas Picton Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire contributed money towards a hospital. Many other groups and individuals joined in this effort. The Prince Edward County Hospital was incorporated on April 6, 1918. It was a nine-bed hospital with an operating room in the George Alcorn House on Hill Street in Picton, on April 17, 1919. Having grown to a 58-bed hospital, it was moved to its present location, renamed Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and officially opened and dedicated on October 14, 1959.

THE
LIFELINE OF THE
WORLD
1914-1919 1939-1945
This memorial is dedicated to the men and women of the Canadian
Merchant Navy. Their courage, fortitude and determination in two World
Wars kept the ships sailing through the terrible years of unparalleled loss.
In particular we remember the men and women who gave their lives and
whose only grave is the sea. Their supreme sacrifice in both World Wars
ensured the lifeline of Troops and of supplies without which victory could not
have been ours and without which we would not now enjoy our freedom.

IN MEMORY OF
J. H. CAMPBELL
AN OFFICER OF THIS BRANCH
WHO GAVE HIS LIFE IN
THE GREAT WAR
1914~1919
As a memorial to staff who gave their lives in the Great War, the Bank of Nova Scotia commissioned about 60 bronze tablets, between July 1920 and February 1921, to be placed on the wall of the branch where each known staff member was employed when they joined the military forces. These plaques listed the names of staff killed on the field, as well as those who died from their wounds after they returned home from the war.
This plaque honours John Henry Campbell a former officer of the Bank of Nova Scotia Concesion Branch in Toronto, Ontario, who was killed in service during the Great War.

The Great War historical plaque consists of images from the Deseronto Archives. The plaque was compiled by Darren Young

The Canadian Armed Forces began operating out of Camp Mirage (at the Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates) in December 2001 with reconnaissance and surveillance missions in support of Operation Apollo—the Canadian Armed Forces support to the military operations in Afghanistan. On November 3, 2010, Camp Mirage officially closed during a ceremony that marked the end of nearly nine years of operations.
In June 2006, a plan was put in place to construct a cenotaph to honour the memory of the fallen from the Afghanistan mission—brass plates showing the name of each fallen soldier, the crest of the unit they belonged to and the date they died. These plates would be attached to a pyramid-like structure, with a spotlight installed inside and shining upward.
As the number of fallen increased, new structures were added to the memorial in 2007. With the additions came the bas-relief “Fallen” donated by Toronto artist Silvia Pecota. Bronze cast, with green patina, the sculpture illustrates a guardian angel.
At its original location, the cenotaph was placed outside on a concrete platform surrounded by a perimeter of grass and stone tiles. The granite slabs, the name plates and the bronze cast were shipped back to Canada, but the concrete structures remained behind. The Canadian climate, so different from the constant dry environment and high temperatures in the Middle East, required an indoor location. This three-part granite structure bearing plaques commemorating the Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan now rests in the National Air Force Museum of Canada at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, in Ontario.
The cenotaph was a landmark at Camp Mirage. This was noted during the cenotaph departure ceremony by Lieutenant-Colonel Tom Dunne, the camp commander:
"Nearly every soldier, sailor, airman and airwoman that has worked in support of this mission has walked this path and laid eyes on this monument. It will return to glorify them on our native soil."
