Arthur Cenotaph

The village of Arthur is believed to be the most patriotic town. During the Second World War, it is stated that the town had the highest ratio of residents in uniform with more than one out of every seven residents being in uniform. The town also highly subscribed to Victory Bonds. By the end of the third Victory loan, Arthur residents had subscribed over $250,000 in war bonds. The population was only 900 residents, which makes this over 64% of the assessed value of the village’s taxable property at that time.

KOREAN WAR
1950 – 1953

Le village d’Arthur passe pour le plus patriotique du pays. On dit qu’au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ce village comptait le plus haut taux de résidants en uniforme puisqu’un habitant sur sept s’était enrôlé dans les forces militaires. Les résidants du village ont aussi souscrit de façon significative aux obligations de la Victoire. En effet, à la fin du troisième emprunt de la Victoire, ils avaient versé plus de 250 000 $ en contribution aux obligations de temps de guerre. Or, comme la population n’était composée que de 900 habitants, cette somme équivalait à plus de 64 p. 100 de la valeur estimative des biens taxables du village à l’époque.
