Lake Lodge Boys' School First World War Honour Roll was published in 1917 in the "Lake Lodge Record". 

Lake Lodge was originally the homestead built by Abraham Nelles in 1812. Abraham Nelles was an important figure in the community and played a significant role in the War of 1812. There are documented letters sent to Nelles during the war which can be found in the Ontario Archives. 

In 1893, Abraham's great granddaughter, Julia, and her husband, William Drope, turned the property into a boys' school. It was famous for its academic and athletic excellence, and drew students from around the world. It's last graduates were during the 1940s.

Mr C.J. Eames offered to donate his Deer Park Golf Club property to build West Lincoln Memorial Hospital in 1942. The clubhouse would be transformed into an 18-bed hospital, if the citizens of Grimsby could raise enough money for the work. The hospital opened in 1946, and on January 29, 1948, it burned down. The hospital operated temporarily out of Nixon Hall and the present building constructed.

The first sod for the present building was turned on August 12, 1948, and excavating started in the peach orchard. Cornerstone laying was done by Hon. Russel T. Kelley, then Minister of Health, on Sunday, October 3, 1948. The opening date was October 23, 1949.

The hospital was dedicated to the Veterans of the First and Second World War from the Grimsby and West Niagara region. It was thought that there could be no more fitting way of honouring the dead than by dedicating a monument to the living, of present and future generations, serving the whole area of six towns and township.

This memorial was constructed in 1908 at Smith's Knoll to mark the last resting place of soldiers killed in the Battle of Stoney Creek, on June 16, 1813. Every year, beginning on June 6th, 1909, there has been a memorial service on the nearest Sunday dedicated to the fallen heroes of the Battle of 1813. During the annual parade on June 6th, 1926, a gift was received by the National Society of United States Daughters of 1812. They presented a bronze tablet in honour of the unknown Americans who had died there. Another plaque was placed on the monument in 1947. The monument is owned by Her Majesty's Army and the Navy Veterans' Society. It stands in Stoney Creek as a reminder of this important chapter in history.

On June 5, 1813, an invading United States army of about 3,000 men, commanded by Brigadier-General John Chandler, camped in this vicinity. That evening some 700 British regulars of the 8th and 49th Regiments, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel John Harvey, left their encampment on Burlington Heights to attack the enemy. The assault was launched early the following morning under cover of darkness. In the fierce fighting which followed, heavy losses were suffered on both sides, but the Americans were defeated and withdrew after their senior officers, Brigadier-Generals Chandler and Winder, were captured. This victory is credited with preventing Upper Canada from being overrun in 1813.

The memorial itself consists of a small burying ground known as Smith's Knoll, where the remains of soldiers from both sides were laid to rest. The stone cairn with a Union Jack flag design marks the main memorial, flanked by cannons and topped by a majestic lion. This cairn was erected in 1909 and re-plaqued several times, the latest being 1956.
