The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. A portrait of Douglas Lloyd Marcellus is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 7 inches.
Before the war Douglas was a student of Morewood High School where participated in hockey, softball, and rugby. In August 1944, his training assessment listed him as an “above average Air Gunner” and that he “should be considered for commissioning”. His aircraft went missing over Osnabruck, Germany on 6 December 1944 and all the crew were killed.
The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.
