A bronze plaque, about three feet square and one inch thick, was created by the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire shortly after the First World War. This plaque was displayed on the wall of the Markdale Public Library for many years, but when a new library was built there was no place for it and it is now stored in the basement. It is possible that a suitable location may be found and the plaque returned to public view at a later date.

This plaque is dedicated to the 1st Canadian Army Troops Workshop. It was erected by the town of Giberville, Normandy, France.

1st Canadian Army Troops Workshop landed in Normandy in early August 1944 and after a short stay in a town near the beaches it moved to Giberville, a small village 8 kilometres east of Caen. The workshop was the first Canadian unit in the town. The townspeople and their "liberators" soon became friends. When the workshop moved on at the end of August a grateful mayor presented Major T.G. Quance, the workshop's Commanding Officer, with a special plaque. It was placed at the main crossroads in the village and no longer exists. A duplicate is in the EME museum at Borden."

ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND REGIMENT

Dedicated to
the men of
the Royal Newfoundland
Regiment of Fencible Infantry

In early 1814, 200 men of the Regiment marched from
Kingston, via York, along Nine Mile Portage to this place.

Here they built 29 batteaux which they took down the
Nottawasaga River and across Georgian Bay to
Michilimackinac with 30 tons of desperately needed
supplies for the British garrison there.

This heroic journey ensured British control of the North West
for the rest of the War of 1812
