Fieldstone cairn – Annapolis Royal
This memorial has been replaced by Memorial 12011-114.
This one was built in 1953. It served the community well, however, the years of environmental exposure took their toll. Issues also arose as to the original site, so for the restoration of the monument/cenotaph, Port Royal Branch 21 chose to build the new one adjacent to the Branch.

IN GRATEFUL MEMORY OF THOSE WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE IN WORLD WAR II
THEY SERVED UNTIL DEATH, WHY NOT WE
[left/gauche]
THEY WILL NEVER KNOW THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE, SEE THE SEASONS CHANGE, ENJOY NATURE’S CHORUS. ALL WE ENJOY WE OWE TO THEM, MEN AND WOMEN WHO LIE BURIED IN THE EARTH OF FOREIGN LANDS AND IN THE SEVEN SEAS.
DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF CANADIANS WHO DIED OVERSEAS IN THE SERVICE OF THEIR COUNTRY AND SO PRESERVED OUR HERITAGE
