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 Charles Mitchell is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 2 inches, had sandy brown hair, blue eyes and several scars from burns across his abdomen.
Charles was a labourer before the war. He sailed from Halifax on RMS Mauretania 25 October 1916 and arrived in England on 31 October 1916. He was hospitalized for influenza on 15 December 1916 and released on 4 January 1917. Charles was first reported as wounded on 3 May 1917, later listed as missing believed killed on that date or since. His battalion was near Arras at the time. His medals and decorations were sent to his friend Miss E.W. Reveler of Cannamore.
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.
