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.

In 1924, twenty-three memorial maple trees were planted along a Southampton avenue. Individual plaques for each tree were intended, but none exist today. Over the years the trees came down with growth and development. Today the cenotaph is located at the end of the very wide street (High Street) where the original trees were planted. The names of who the trees were dedicated to are listed on the left side of the cenotaph.
