New Jerusalem Memorial Cairn

Located in the former area of the village of New Jerusalem, this memorial is now in the midst of the training grounds for Canadian Forces Base Gagetown. It is dedicated to the memory of the local war dead and veterans of the Second World War. Subsequently, the memorial was altered with additional plaques, to also be dedicated to the memory of the local war dead and veterans of the First World War.

Situé dans l’ancien emplacement du village de New Jerusalem, ce mémorial est maintenant à l’intérieur de l’aire d’entraînement de la Base des Forces canadiennes Gagetown. Il est dédié à la mémoire des vétérans locaux de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale. Par la suite, le mémorial fut modifié avec l`ajout de plaques, pour aussi être dédié à la mémoire des vétérans locaux de la Première Guerre Mondiale.
