Saltfleet Memorial

This memorial cenotaph was constructed in 1922, in memory of the men of Saltfleet Township, who gave their lives in the First World War. The cenotaph consists of a bronze statue, on top of a large granite shaft, with the names inscribed for eternity. Oddly, this is one of the few memorials which dates the war 1914-1919.

After the Second World War, a granite block was placed in front of the statue, with the names of those lost in World War II, and later a single name lost in Korea.

Érigé en 1922 à la mémoire des résidants de Saltfleet qui ont sacrifié leur vie pendant les Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales et la guerre de Corée. Le cénotaphe, composé d’une statue de bronze érigée sur un socle de granit, a été restauré en 1990. Il s’agit d’un don de la filiale no 622 de la Légion royale canadienne.
