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.

SCARCE HEARD AMID THE GUNS BELOW.

WE ARE THE DEAD. SHORT DAYS AGO

With the help of the Souris branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, a community group compiled a list of names of veterans from Fortune Bridge, Bay Fortune, Eglinton, Howe Bay, St. Charles and Selkirk, as well as any surrounding area not covered by another municipality. About 80 names are on the monument to be erected at the Fortune community centre. The federal government has contributed $5,000 to the project, about half of the estimated cost and The Montague Rotary club also made a donation. Some benches and a flag pole will go up alongside the cenotaph.

The Town of Souris, P.E.I., has officially unveiled a war memorial eleven years in the making.  Engraved on the 28 stone panels are approximately 1,800 names of veterans and RCMP officers from the Souris area, with room to add more names in the future. Some of the names date back to the 1700's.

A memorial bench at the entrance, which offers a place to reflect, is inscribed: "Community memorial designed and manufactured by Heritage memorials Ltd. This memorial bench proudly donated by local representative Charles Dunphy."

QR codes for smartphones will be added to the site to give more detailed information about the veterans.

The monument is a project of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 3 and was funded by Veterans Affairs Canada.
