Madoc Cenotaph

The Madoc Cenotaph was unveiled with full military honours on November 28, 1928 and dedicated to the men of Madoc and vicinity who gave their lives during the First World War. The community owes a heartfelt appreciation to the Madoc Women’s Institute who undertook the project, to the public spiritedness of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, and the community effort.

Later, the names of those lost in the Second World War where engraved on the back. A plaque acknowledging the Korean War was added on the front of the base.

A German Trench Mortar and the John Weir Foote V. C. Plaque are also located here.

Le cénotaphe de Madoc a été dévoilé avec tous les honneurs militaires le 28 novembre 1928 et a été dédié aux hommes de Madoc et des environs qui ont sacrifié leur vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. La collectivité est reconnaissante au Women’s Institute de Madoc, qui a entrepris le projet témoignant du civisme de M. et Mme Thompson et des efforts de la collectivité.

Plus tard, les noms de ceux qui ont perdu la vie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ont été gravés au dos. Une plaque commémorative de la guerre de Corée a été ajoutée sur le devant de la base.

Il y a également un mortier de tranchée allemand et la plaque commémorative de John Weir Foote V.C. près du cénotaphe.

Le texte de l’inscription figure dans la section anglaise.
