The St. Eleanors War Memorial in Summerside was erected by the residents of the area, which was formerly the village of St. Eleanors. It was one of the earliest war memorials erected on Prince Edward Island and arrived in late November 1919, only a year after the Great War had ended. 

The official unveiling ceremony for the monument did not take place until September 17, 1920, and was attended by a large crowd, including school children of St. Eleanors, North St. Eleanors, and Linkletter. The committee who raised money and made all the arrangements for the memorial consisted of Austin Scales, Thomas Andrews, Wallace McCallum and Albert Tanton.

The jagged-cut granite monument was purchased from Thomson Monument Company for $1,355.75. A newspaper description, given prior to its placement on the land donated by Loman Adams, stated: “It is of gray granite, 9 feet high and 4 feet wide at the base, and weighs about 4 tons. On three sides the stone is rough, as a reminder of the hard and rough life, those, in whose memory it is being erected, led while serving their country overseas.”

The names of nine fallen heroes from the area were engraved on the monument. The original names were later supplemented by those of two men from the district who lost their lives in the Second World War.

The Trinity United Church First World War Window was erected by women of the church as a memorial of those of the congregation who perished in the First World War. It was unveiled in October 1939 by Lieutenant Governor LePage who hadn’t yet been installed into office. 

The five light window was created by Robert McCausland Limited. At the top of the window are the Coat of Arms of Prince Edward Island and Canada, with the persons of King David, Saint George, the patron Saint of England, and Jonathan, son of King Saul and close friend and advisory of David. Below this are the serpents standing for the powers of evil to be slain, suggesting “Put on The Whole Armour of God”.

The Bloomfield Cenotaph was erected by the St. Anthony Legion Branch 27 in early spring of 1995, spearheaded by 78 year old Second World War Veteran, Comrade James Hudson. It was built with New Brunswick granite with five foot deep footings. The cenotaph was dedicated on May 8, 1995, during a parade for the 50th anniversary of V.E. day. Earlier that day a spring storm left 15cm of snow that was plowed to create a path to the cenotaph for the parade.
