“THEIR NAMES LIVETH FOR EVERMORE” ERECTED BY THE CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH NO. 21 |
|
The Grand Falls Second World War Honour Roll was originally erected in 1956 on the outside of the old Legion building. When the building was sold in 2005, the Second World War Honour Roll, along with the Grand Falls First World War Honour Roll, was removed by the new owners.
The Legion retrieved both Honour Rolls and had each one affixed on its own stone. The Honour Rolls were re-inaugurated on September 11, 2017.
Herbie Michaud (1939-45) is listed on the First World War Honour Roll. There were 23 fallen from the First World War and 25 from the Second World War, so the plaques were made even with 24 names on each.
The Moon Quarry First World War Artillery is also at this location.

The New Brunswick Naval Memorial was unveiled on 24 June 2022 and commemorates the long and storied history of New Brunswick’s significant role in the naval and maritime heritage of Canada. It provides a constant reminder of all those who lost their lives while serving their country at sea in the cause of peace. The memorial was erected by HMCS Brunswicker and the New Brunswick Royal United Services Institute.
The main monument resting on Plaza Maris recalls the bow of HMCS Saint John adorned with anchors. The imprint of waves in the pavement indicates the “waves over wave” that are their “crosses row upon row.” Embedded in the pavement, port side and aft of the monument, is the shadow of a Canso aircraft, such as those which flew escort over the convoys. At starboard, is a silhouette of a Cyclone helicopter, mindful of the loss of this aircraft o the Saint John-built frigate, HMCS Fredericton.
Stone benches shaped in the format of nautical bollards have been installed around the site. A nautical staff flag pole crowns the site.
This plaque was dedicated by Saint John employees of the New Brunswick Telephone Company Limited in honour of their comrades who served in the Second World War. It is not known where the plaque is located now.

Stairway to Service was unveiled on June 3, 2022. It features a set of 13 granite steps and a walkway which memorializes those who performed military service for Saint John and Canada. When the Royal Canadian Legion Jervis Bay Memorial Branch No. No. 53 had to put a new set of stairs in the park, Harold Wright, Legion president, came up with the idea to make the stairs a monument.
More than 200 names of people who served from the First World War to the present are featured, with room for 200 more names. Engraved on the top of the stairway are boots and shoes prints of two Saint John Veterans who served during the Second World War: the late George O. Kelley, who died in December at age 103, and Glennis (Boyle) Boyce. One side of the steps has outlines of boot prints going down, representing those going off to military service. The other side of the steps has outlines of boot prints going up, representing those returning home from military service. Three of the steps have hand prints of children engraved in the center to represent families waiting for their loved ones to return from service.
