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. Unable to locate a photograph of Nelson, the general list cap badge which was a standard badge worn by soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, is etched into his memorial.
Nelson was a labourer before the war and stood 5 foot 9 inches, had dark hair and brown eyes. His name was anglicized from Narcisse Gregoire. Captain Glasgow witnessed his will on 10 October 1916 and Nelson sailed from Halifax on board the RMS Mauritania on 25 October 1916. On 4 May 1917, he received multiple wounds to his face and arms, was hospitalized in Halifax and discharged on 24 July 1917. He was hospitalized again 31 July 1917 for an old shrapnel wound in his shoulder and discharged 29 September 1917. Nelson was killed in action on 29 March 1918.
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.
