The St. Philip’s Cemetery memorial is dedicated to military veterans interred at St Philip’s Cemetery. It is interesting to note that Captain George Thew Burke, leader of the advance party of disbanded British soldiers who settled Richmond in 1818, is interred in the historical section of this cemetery. The memorial was unveiled in 2005 by the Royal Canadian Legion Richmond and District Branch #625.
