This memorial, erected by the citizens of Queen's County, is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The monument is surmounted by the figure of a Canadian Soldier of the First World War (1914 – 1918) in full uniform. He is standing astride of what appears to be some battlefield debris. He is holding in his left hand a Lee Enfield rifle, an actual 303 calibre. His right arm is extended upwards and he is holding a steel helmet, his legs below the knees are wrapped in puttees. He is fitted with a body harness which is attached to ammunition pouches. A water canteen is slung over his shoulder and rests on his right hip. A waist belt supports a bayonet and scabbard at his left hip. Four large plaques of similar design are secured to the pedestal, or body, on each of the four sides. Each are of the same dimensions and shape: a beaver and a Maple Leaf enlarged from the central top. The years 1914 - 1918 and 1939 - 1945 are at each top corner. Rosettes at each four corners are prominent and two upright leafed stalks, left and right, balance the plaque design. The names of the soldiers who died during the First World War (1914 – 1918) are listed on the left and right side plaque, with 84 in total. A back panel lists the names of 54 soldiers who perished during the Second World War (1939 – 1945). Below this plaque is a smaller one listing the fatalities of the Korean War in 1950. Positioned to the rear of the monument is a metal flag pole used to fly the Canadian Flag. The building in the background of the photos above was the former Town Hall. It is now occupied as the Museum of Photography and Art Galleries. This established is operated by Mr. Roger Savage, a noted Nova Scotia artist. The monument was erected and paid for through public subscription in 1921. At that time the cost was $6000.00. It is constructed of dark grey granite. During the early 1990's the monument was renovated at double the original cost.
