Cénotaphe de Sunderland

Sunderland, Ontario

Type

Autre

Following the end of the Great War (World War One) Sunderland sought to erect a memorial to those local citizens who had died in the conflict. Ontario war memorials based on the same template as Sunderland's were constructed in Kemptville, Cape Crocker and Wiarton. The memorial features a lone young soldier standing tall, grasping his rifle vertically in front of him. Since that time, the soldier's memorial has come to symbolize all from Sunderland killed in war service.
