Blairmore Cenotaph

In approximately 1924 this memorial was erected on behalf of the local branch of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) and dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. Inscriptions were later added to honour the local veterans of the Second World War and the Korean War and, in October 1986, the stele was relocated from a location near the old municipal courthouse to its current location.

C’est vers 1924 que ce mémorial a été érigé au nom de la filiale locale de l’Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire et dédié aux citoyens morts durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Les inscriptions sur les anciens combattants de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la guerre de Corée ont été ajoutées plus tard et, en octobre 1986, la stèle a été relocalisée, de son emplacement près du palais de justice municipal, à son site actuel.

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