New Durham Memorial

Very nice memorial located in the village cemetery. A red granite stone lists the names of eight men lost in World War I.
The memorial is decorated with an angel holding an olive branch of peace, and separately a beaver to represent Canada. The engraved names are difficult to read from my photos. Eight crosses, one for each man, stand in front of the memorial stone to represent the graves where they rest in Europe.
