Prince Edward Island

This memorial, erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, is dedicated to the memory of land issues on the island and, in particular, to the Land Tenure Question of the nineteenth century.

This memorial, which marks a row of veterans' graves, was erected by a Royal Air Force / Royal Canadian Air Force Reunion Committee in 1985 in honour of Royal Air Force personnel killed while training at local British Commonwealth Air Training Plan institutions.

This memorial, erected by St. James' Presbyterian Church, is dedicated to the members of its congregations killed during the First World War.

In 2021, an Honour Roll of ten metal panels were erected along the walkway leading to the cenotaph, each with the name of a soldier from the area who either died in combat or died of their injuries after returning home. The metal panels display the soldier's names, the war in which they served and an outline of combat boots. When the sun shines, it creates shadows of each panel, projecting an image of the boots and the soldiers' names onto the path to the cenotaph. Malpeque Fine Irons Products of New Annan, Prince Edward Island) assisted in the design, along with the Heritage Sub Committee, and created the individual memorials.

Kevin Reynolds, Director of Planning, Development and Heritage with Stratford, managed the project, along with the town's Heritage Sub Committee. Funding from Veterans Affairs Canada enabled them to hire designer Joe Miller of Earthform Landscape Professionals in Stratford, Prince Edward Island, to design and execute the idea.

Two interpretive panels by the Town of Stratford Heritage Committee tell the personal stories of the ten soldiers — one panel each for the First World War and Second World War.

Family members of two of the soldiers attended the unveiling ceremony. A granddaughter of William Joseph Stewart spoke about the effects on her family of her grandfather not returning from war. A grand-nephew of Daniel W. McInnis read a poem called Thoughts of Home written by his great-uncle while fighting overseas. Sara Lantz from Veterans Affairs Canada, and Stratford Mayor Steve Ogden, helped unveil the Honour Roll and interpretive panels.

This memorial is in memory of Leading Aircraftmen Russell L. Bonnell and Lorne C. Gibb and Flight Sergeant James A. Ringer who died on June 8, 1944, when their Bolingbroke drogue towing aircraft # 9195 crashed because of engine trouble. All three were training at No. 10 Bombing and Gunnery School, Mount Pleasant, Prince Edward Island.

Out of respect for the crash site, the location is not being shared with the public.

Flying Officer James Clyde Cummings was killed at the age of 24 while on a camera gun exercise at No. 10 Bombing and Gunnery School, Mount Pleasant, Prince Edward Island when his Bristol Fairchild Bolingbroke (RCAF 10094) crashed at Richmond, Prince Edward Island during a training exercise on November 9, 1944. He was the son of J. Clyde and Doris T. Cummings, of High Point, North Carolina.

Out of respect for the crash site, the location is not being shared with the public.

In 1994, Greg Garard was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Legion to paint a mural. The artwork hung on the side of George R. Peakes V.C. Branch No. 5 Royal Canadian Legion on Notre Dame Street since its creation in 2000. The mural depicts four men and one woman dressed in the uniforms of the different branches of the Canadian Armed Forces in addition to battle scenes on land, sea and in the air. 

With the sale of the building in 2013, the city took down the mural and put it in storage for safekeeping. It was commissioned under the Millennial Program and moved to its present location on the Consolidated Credit Union building in 2019. 

In the fall of 2016 the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #17 Wellington in partnership with the Community of Wellington has acquired a LAV III (Light Armored Vehicle) Monument to recognize the service and sacrifice of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan. The monuments are created from decommissioned LAV III hulls. They offered a great defense and became relied upon to protect our troops and preserve life during the conduct of a variety of missions to help restore peace and government to the people of Afghanistan. To date it is the only one of its kind on PEI.

The monument specially commemorates the “Fallen” who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

It is located on the grounds of the Royal Canadian Legion in Wellington adjacent to another monument honoring those in the First, second and Korean Wars; it will provide our citizens a place to pay tribute to our veterans of Afghanistan and ensure that our Fallen heroes of that conflict will be forever remember.

This memorial was dedicated on the occasion of the Royal Canadian Air Force/Canadian Forces Base Summerside Reunion 2003. Provided by the City of Summerside and erected by the Reunion Committee on September 14, 2003.

739 was the 30^th Argus built by the Canadair Plant in Cartierville, Quebec. It was Taken On Strength (TOS) by the RCAF on the 22^nd of February, 1960. It was then accepted by the 404 Marine Patrol (MP) Squadron based at RCAF station in Greenwood, Nova Scotia. Then in 1965, Argus 739 was re-assigned to 415 (MP) Squadron, RCAF station in Summerside, PEI. In Summer 1966, Argus 739 made the flight from Summerside to Pisa, Italy and was likely the only Argus to ever visit Italy. While in Italy Argus 739 participated in NATO exercises which consisted of torpedo exercises that took place on a range near Pisa. Argus 739 returned to regular operations until 1975 when it was placed in short-term storage at CFB Greenwood. It returned to service at CFB Summerside in 1977 before later being returned to CFB Greenwood.

On June 5, 1980, Major Bill Naylor took Argus 739 on her final flight to Summerside. Argus 739 retired with 15,087.4 flying hours, and average flying speed of 200 mph which could represent around 3,017,480 miles. Argus 739 had 20  years and 4 months of flying.

In 1980 Lowell Huestis led a group of local Summerside citizens and petitioned DND to have an airframe for Argus 739 preserved and mounted outside the gate of CFB Summerside. Major Wayne Griffith of the 415 (MP) Squadron was assigned to assist with the project. Cement was generously donated by Curran & Briggs Ltd and MF Schurman Ltd.

Argus 739 was moved to its present location by a BAMEO tow crew. This was its final resting place 21 years and 1 day from her first flight. In 1990 it was refurbished and repainted as well as minor repainting in 2008. In 2010 a full-scale refinishing was preformed and that is the plane that is seen today at the Air Force Heritage Park.

Canadair provided the metal plaque and those listed on the monument provided the carved granite slab.
