“LEST WE FORGET”

Ce mémorial a été érigé en 1929 par les citoyens de Port Burwell pour honorer les anciens combattants de la région qui ont servi durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Une plaque a été ajouté plus tard pour commémorer ceux qui sont morts pendant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Il a été déménagé du parc mémorial au Ken Kirkpatrick Parkette en octobre 1999 et restauré par Daney Memorials de Tillsonburg.
