Pictou County War Memorial

The Pictou County War Memorial was erected on July 11, 1935 to honour all of the soldiers from Pictou County who died in the Great War. It was designed by Canadian sculptor George William Hill and unveiled by Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia.

The symbolism of the three bronze figures - one a returned soldier to typify all his class. The female figure is Justice, who has tested his merits in the scales and has found him worthy of the laurel wreath with which she is about to crown him. The youth is a Boy Scout, too young himself for military service, who welcomes his soldier father home.
