This memorial is dedicated to those who paid the supreme sacrifice. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 406.

Arnprior had a wooden pillar without any inscribed names, which was considered as a town memorial. An editorial for the Arnprior Chronicle on 29 November 1951, by B.V. Bedore echoed wider public sentiment when he called for the construction of a public memorial. Soon after, the Arnprior Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion formed the Cenotaph Committee.

Made up of several Veterans of both the First and Second World Wars, the Cenotaph Committee was chaired by J.J. Greene, with the support of Mayor Robert Simpson, regional Women's Institutes and local residents. The committee collected the names to be inscribed on the memorial, necessary funding, and secured a location for construction.

The Arnprior Cenotaph was installed by Remembrance Day ceremonies on 11 November 1952 and officially dedicated in July 1953 by the Honourable Brooke Claxton, then Minister of National Defence. It honours those who fought and died during the First  and Second World Wars and Korean War. At this time, the name of Desmond Trudeau, who died in the Korean War in 1953, was added to the cenotaph.

By the late 1990s, the cenotaph was in need of restoration. The Arnprior Legion formed a committee to fix a large crack in the base and to have installed a new granite slab over the deteriorated limestone face. It was restored in 1998. With assistance from volunteers of the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives, several new names were added and others corrected from the original inscription.

In June of 1908, the Sir Thomas Picton Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire contributed money towards a hospital. Many other groups and individuals joined in this effort. The Prince Edward County Hospital was incorporated on April 6, 1918. It was a nine-bed hospital with an operating room in the George Alcorn House on Hill Street in Picton, on April 17, 1919. Having grown to a 58-bed hospital, it was moved to its present location, renamed Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital and officially opened and dedicated on October 14, 1959.

The Belleville Merchant Navy Memorial, erected by the City of Belleville and the Merchant Navy Association, was dedicated on June 5, 2011.

As a memorial to staff who gave their lives in the Great War, the Bank of Nova Scotia commissioned about 60 bronze tablets, between July 1920 and February 1921, to be placed on the wall of the branch where each known staff member was employed when they joined the military forces. These plaques listed the names of staff killed on the field, as well as those who died from their wounds after they returned home from the war.

This plaque honours John Henry Campbell a former officer of the Bank of Nova Scotia Concesion Branch in Toronto, Ontario, who was killed in service during the Great War.

The Great War historical plaque consists of images from the Deseronto Archives. The plaque was compiled by Darren Young

The Canadian Armed Forces began operating out of Camp Mirage (at the Al Minhad Air Base in the United Arab Emirates) in December 2001 with reconnaissance and surveillance missions in support of Operation Apollo—the Canadian Armed Forces support to the military operations in Afghanistan. On November 3, 2010, Camp Mirage officially closed during a ceremony that marked the end of nearly nine years of operations.

In June 2006, a plan was put in place to construct a cenotaph to honour the memory of the fallen from the Afghanistan mission—brass plates showing the name of each fallen soldier, the crest of the unit they belonged to and the date they died. These plates would be attached to a pyramid-like structure, with a spotlight installed inside and shining upward.

As the number of fallen increased, new structures were added to the memorial in 2007. With the additions came the bas-relief “Fallen” donated by Toronto artist Silvia Pecota. Bronze cast, with green patina, the sculpture illustrates a guardian angel.

At its original location, the cenotaph was placed outside on a concrete platform surrounded by a perimeter of grass and stone tiles. The granite slabs, the name plates and the bronze cast were shipped back to Canada, but the concrete structures remained behind. The Canadian climate, so different from the constant dry environment and high temperatures in the Middle East, required an indoor location. This three-part granite structure bearing plaques commemorating the Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan now rests in the National Air Force Museum of Canada at Canadian Forces Base Trenton, in Ontario.

The cenotaph was a landmark at Camp Mirage. This was noted during the cenotaph departure ceremony by Lieutenant-Colonel Tom Dunne, the camp commander:

"Nearly every soldier, sailor, airman and airwoman that has worked in support of this mission has walked this path and laid eyes on this monument. It will return to glorify them on our native soil."

The Belleville Arena was taken over by the Belleville council and was dedicated as a memorial to the military heroes who served in the Second World War.  It has since been dedicated as a heritage site by the council.

On June 3, 1946 the City of Belleville passed By-law No. 5163, which states:

“WHEREAS for the purpose of providing a memorial in commemoration of
the persons who served in the Armed Forces of His Majesty or His
Majesty’s allies during the recent war, the Council of the Corporation
of the City of Belleville deems it advisable and expedient to purchase
the Hume Arena and to maintain the same as a memorial as aforesaid.”

Vimy Court is dedicated to the Canadian Corps' victory at the Battle of Vimy Ridge.

Built in 1940 as one of many training establishments for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP), Camp Picton’s 700 acres became home for numerous young Commonwealth airmen undergoing bombing and gunnery training. After WWII, the site was used as a storage and equipment maintenance centre for the RCAF before being taken over by the Royal Canadian Artillery School (anti-aircraft). With the addition of a Permanent Married Quarters (PMQ) area in the 1950’s, the base was expanded and in the early 60’s became the Home Station for the Canadian Guards regiment. The Base was closed in 1969 and the airfield was eventually transformed into an industrial site. The PMQ area was sold to individual homeowners with many of the roads retaining their original military name.

The Battle of Vimy Ridge took place from April 9 to 12 in 1917 with the combatants being the Canadian Corps, of four divisions, against three division of the German Sixth Army.

The objective of the Canadian Corps was to take control of the German-held high ground along an escarpment at the northernmost end of the Arras Offensive. This would ensure that the southern flank could advance without suffering German enfilade fire. Supported by a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge once the Canadian Corps overcame a salient of considerable German resistance. The final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the town of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, fell to the Canadian Corps on April 12. The German forces then retreated to the Oppy-Méricourt line.

Historians attribute the success of the Canadian Corps in capturing the ridge to a combination of technical and tactical innovation, meticulous planning, powerful artillery support and extensive training. The battle was the first occasion when all four division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and thus became a Canadian nationalistic symbol of achievement and sacrifice. A 100 ha (250 acres) portion of the former battleground serves as a preserved memorial park and site of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial.
