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 Ernest John Glasgow is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 8 ½ inches.
Ernest was a Farmer before the war and an active member of the 59th Stormont and Glengarry Regiment. He departed on 25 October 1916 and was “On Command Overseas” from 11 to 21 July 1917. He took a temporary demotion to Lieutenant to proceed overseas on 11 August 1917. For New Year's 1918, he sent a post card with a 1918 calendar and a photograph of him in uniform in front of a fireplace. Ernest received a shrapnel wound that penetrated his abdomen on 9 May 1918 and he died from the wounds the same day.
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.
