Aubrey Cosens was born in Latchford and killed during the Second World War. The Sgt. Aubrey Cosens V.C. Memorial Bridge was opened in October 1960. Members of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, Cosens' original regiment, were present at the official unveiling. The Regimental Cadet Corps formed a guard of honor and the Argyll Pipes & Drums provided musical support.
The bridge is maintained by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation. On January 14, 2003, the deck of the Sergeant Aubrey Cosens V.C. Memorial Bridge was put out of service until after the deck was reconstructed in 2005.
In 1986, the plaque commemorating Cosens was installed and dedicated in Veteran's Park, located next to the Latchfod Municipal Office.
