Four years after the end of the First World War, Brigadier-General Andrew Hamilton Gault, owner of the mountain, had a monument erected to honour the residents of Mont-Saint-Hilaire who had fought in that terrible conflict. The monument, measuring four meters high, is made of reddish rubble stone assembled with cement of the same colour; it was erected along the chemin des Patriotes, in front of the parish church. The memorial not only honoured the residents of Saint-Hilaire who had participated in the war of 1914-18, but also had a practical role as a public drinking fountain for horses, dogs and humans. An explanatory plaque bearing the date 1922 reminded the passers-by of the monument’s function and its donor’s name. The structure was crowned with a war trophy, a German machine gun, symbol of the triumph of the Allied forces over the Kaiser’s army. The Gault Monument fell down in the ditch and was buried at the time when Father Forest was parish priest (1948-1965). The plaque has disappeared. It indicated 1922. The machine gun is now on Léopold Côté’s lawn. Dick Bernard blew up the monument because the names of some veterans had been omitted. He was acquitted because of lack of evidence (information confirmed by Gaston Baril in October 1998). There is also a second trophy, silent witness to the First World War, a big calibre mortar (230 mm) with a 1.24 m cannon, discreetly immobilized on a concrete shaft beside the federal wharf, near the Richelieu River.

LA PREMIÈRE BATAILLE DE LAPRAIRIE
THE FIRST BATTLE OF LAPRAIRIE

De 1687 à 1713, le fort de Laprairie, une palissade protégeant certains bâtiments du village, servit de lieu de refuge aux colons et de poste de garde non loin de Montréal. En 1691, durant la longue guerre entre les Français et les Anglais d'Amérique, le gouverneur de Montréal, Louis-Hector de Callière, s'y posta avec un important contingent de soldats en prévision d'une attaque des colonies anglaises plus au sud. Néanmoins, une compagnie de la milice de New York et des Indiens menés par le major Peter Schuyler surprirent les Français et leur infligèrent de nombreuses pertes, mais ils battirent en retraite devant une force nombreuse.

Fort Laprairie, a palissade enclosing some of the village buildings, served as a refuge for settlers and a defensive outpost for Montréal from its inception in 1687 until 1713. In 1691, during the Anglo-French imperial struggle, the Governor of Montréal, Louis-Hector de Callière, waited here with a large contingent of soldiers for an expected attack from the English colonies to the south. Nevertheless, a company of New York militia and Indians led by Major Peter Schuyler managed to surprise the French and inflict many casualtie before retreating in the face of superior numbers.

This plaque, originally unveiled in 1923 and replaced after June 1982 by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, commemorates the first battle of Laprairie in 1691 where the Governor of Montreal and a large detachment of soldiers were stationed. A New York militia company and some First Nations warriors attacked by surprise and caused many losses but, confronted by such a large number of defendants, they eventually retired.

REGINALD AUBREY FESSENDEN
1866-1932

Ce pionnier de la radiocommunication est né à Bolton-Est.
En 1884, il quitta le Canada et, pendant qu’il dirigeait une
école aux Bermudes, il se donna une formation en
télécommunications. Sa compétence l’amena aux États-Unis
où il fit de la recherche et d’importantes découvertes,
notamment dans le domaine de la réception radiophonique.
Après 1912, il se spécialisa dans les questions de
navigation. Il inventa une sonde sonore, puis durant la
Première Grande Guerre, un instrument pour repérer
les sous-marins.

A pioneer in the field of radio communication, Fessenden
was born in East Bolton Township. He left Canada in 1884
and, while a school principal in Bermuda, became a self-taught
expert on telecommunication theory. This expertise led to
research appointments in the United States where he made
a number of important discoveries including one to facilitate
the audible reception of radio waves. After 1912 he concentrated
on problems concerning marine navigation, inventing the
fathometer (a sonic depth finder) and, during the First
World War, an instrument detecting submarines.

George Hill’s monument at Magog features a statue of a triumphant Canadian soldier who is bare-headed, the raised right hand clutches a Mills bomb, the left fist is clenched. The Canadian Tommy has triumphed, he has come though, he rejoices in the thrill of victory.

This memorial is dedicated to those who died and all who served during the two Great World Wars and the Korean War.

George William Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, in 1861. He learned to carve marble in his father’s company, after he graduated from college. Between 1889 and 1894, he left Quebec to study sculpting at the École nationale des beaux-arts and Académie Julian in Paris. When he returned to Montreal, he opened a studio and worked with architect Robert Findlay and brothers Edward and William S. Maxwell. Known for his public monuments and war memorials, he is now considered one of the most important Canadian sculptors of the early twentieth century.

Hill designed several monuments commemorating Canadians lost in the South African War, including the Strathcona and South African Soldiers' Memorial in Quebec and Boer War Soldiers Monument in Ontario. At the end of the First World War, Hill was awarded several contracts by towns and cities wishing to pay homage to citizens who had died on the battlefields. Between 1920 and 1930 he designed these monuments: Westmount Cenotaph, Magog Cenotaph, Argenteuil Cenotaph, Richmond Cenotaph, Sherbrooke War Memorial in Quebec; Pictou County War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldier's Monument, The Soldier and Nurses’ Memorial in Ontario; and the Soldier's Monument in Prince Edward Island.

In 1921, the County of Brome Council resolved to arrange for the erection of a war memorial to the boys of the county who were killed in the Great War. The School Board granted permission to erect the memorial on school grounds on land donated by Justice Lynch. A contract for the memorial was signed with Montreal sculptor Coeur de Lion MacCarthy.

The memorial, draped with a large union jack, was unveiled by Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Turner, VC, KCM on September 3, 1923, with an estimated 3,000 people gathered. The bronze statue of a First World War Canadian soldier being guided by an angel stands atop a granite stone base.

Coeur de Lion MacCarthy, the son of sculptor Hamilton McCarthy, produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War, including: Winged Victory in British Columbia; Great War Memorial and Lethbridge Cenotaph in Alberta; Winged Victory in Manitoba; County of Brome War Memorial, Verdun Victory Memorial, Monument to the Brave and Winged Victory in Quebec; Clifton Hill War Memorial and Woodstock Cenotaph in Ontario.
