Notice:
The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.
This memorial is in honour of Fred Wasdell and James Findlay, who were killed at the Battle of Paardeberg during the South African War. A plaque is located on the left side of the bandshell steps and was erected in 1900. The bandshell is not the original, nor at it's original location in the park.
Memorial Park also contains the Bracebridge Cenotaph and the Bracebridge Memorial Fountain.
