Wainfleet First World War Memorial Plaque

This memorial plaque is dedicated to the men and women of Wainfleet who died as well as those who served in the First World War. It was erected by the citizens of the Township of Wainfleet.

The plaque of Remembrance honouring the citizens of Wainfleet Township who lost their lives in World War One was unveiled by the township council in Dec 2015. Money left over from the building of the Wainfleet Township Cenotaph was used to build a plaque for the First World War citizens that resembles the one from the Second World War that is in council chambers. Funding also came from the community and organizations in the community.

The Wainfleet Second World War Memorial Plaque is also located here.

ERECTED BY THE GRATEFUL CITIZENS OF THE TOWNHIP OF WAINFLEET.

Cette plaque commémorative est dédiée aux hommes et aux femmes de Wainfleet qui ont perdu la vie et qui ont servi leur pays durant la Première Guerre mondiale. Elle a été érigée par les citoyens de la ville de Wainfleet.

La plaque commémorative rendant hommage aux citoyens de la ville de Wainfleet qui ont perdu la vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale a été dévoilée par le conseil municipal en décembre 2015. Les fonds qui restaient de l’argent recueilli pour la construction du cénotaphe de la ville de Wainfleet ont été utilisés pour poser une plaque en l’honneur des citoyens ayant participé à la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette plaque ressemble à celle commémorant la Seconde Guerre mondiale qui se trouve dans la salle du conseil. La collectivité et des organismes communautaires ont également participé au financement.

La Plaque commémoratif de la Seconde Guerre mondiale de Wainfleet s’y trouve également.
