The Sgt. Ralph Bridge was constructed in memory of Sgt. Cornelius Michael Ralph who died serving in with Canadian Peacekeepers’ Operation Harmony in 1992 serving in Croatia.

Captain B.J. Carrigan a captain with the 37 Combat Engineers had this to say, "Somebody else was supposed to move the truck but Mike told them to stay where they were. As he moved it forward, there were several mines underneath the ground they didn't see. It blew his truck and killed Mike.

He loved being an engineer, he loved being a soldier and serving his country. And he did it in the most professional way that anybody could ever do it. It's important for his family, for his grandkids to know that their grandfather and their father and Charlie's husband was an outstanding soldier. And that we should never forget him.”

Sgt. CM Ralph’s widow Lorraine Ralph was at the reopening and dedication of the bridge in 1992 and had this to say about the memorial.

"It shows them that they mean something. To the community, to everyone. Knowing that they put this up out of love, it just fills my heart right up."

"Even though he would've been embarrassed because Mike wasn't somebody that put himself forward and had to have attention. He would've done this for the boys but he'd never expected it to be done to him," she said.

The bridge was originally built in 1994 but later had to have repairs to make it safe for large armored vehicles to cross. Reconstruction costed 3.5 million.

This memorial is dedicated to the Second World War Veterans of Oromocto. It was erected by the members of the church congregation.

The Oromocto Cenotaph is a grey granite obelisk war memorial with several metal plaques attached, located in a grassed area on MacDonald Avenue in the Town of Oromocto. The Oromocto Cenotaph is designated a Local Historic Place for its importance in highlighting the military history of citizens in the Oromocto region, as well as for its bold architectural design typical of World War cenotaphs throughout Canada.

Erected in 1963 by the citizens of Oromocto in a grassed park setting at the center of the town, the monument is a good example of the post-war stone monuments erected as memorials to the fallen soldiers of World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict, and various Canadian Peacekeeping missions. Three bronze plaques are mounted at the base of the cenotaph listing these events, along with the names of the local fallen soldiers of Wars War I and II.

The character-defining elements that describe the Oromocto Cenotaph include: - the four meter-high obelisk design incorporating a smooth-faced cut grey granite rectangular shaft topped with a pyramid-shaped angled cap, all on a series of stepped rectangular plinths; - the three cast bronze plaques attached to the front of the cenotaph, listing the dates and local victims of World Wars I and II, the dates of the Korean Conflict, and elements of the Canadian Peacekeeping missions; - the larger park grounds surrounding the obelisk, with five flagpoles and shrub planting.

Constructed in memory of the officers and other ranks of the 1st and 2nd battalions and the depot of the Blackwatch Royal Highland Regiment of Canada. It was erected by The Regiment. This memorial honours the officers and other ranks for their contribution to the community of Oromocto during their service at CFB Gagetown. Unveiled at this location by Colonel J.G. Bourne CO., Colonel of the Blackwatch Royal Highland Regiment of Canada.

This memorial was constructed in 1967 in memory of those who died in the Second World War. It measures 165cm height x 86cm width x 33cm depth and is maintained by the City of Fredericton. 

Due to flooding from the St. John River in 2018 and 2019 the Fredericton Legion was moved to 365 Smythe street. There are currently talks of a new multi-purpose building being built at the legions former location that would include the legion, as well as apartments and other possibilities.

The building is considered a Memorial Building and outside stands a memorial to veterans of the Afghanistan war. The memorial was unveiled in September 2009 and lists the names of local soldiers who lost their lives. 

This memorial is dedicated to the Carleton and York Regiment. It was erected by the Carleton and York Regiment Association.

Very shortly after the end of The First World War, a group of public-spirited citizens decided that some form of lasting memorial should be erected in Fredericton to honour those members of the community who laid down their lives for their country during the conflict. A committee was formed, called the Fredericton War Memorial Committee, under the chairmanship of Mr. Justice O. Crocket of the Supreme Court of Canada, formerly Member of Parliament for York-Sunbury, to study the matter and to transform the thought into action. A tall shaft of stone, suitably based and landscaped, was decided upon as being appropriate, and the site favoured was the triangular plot of land bounded by Church, King and Queen Streets. This land, the property of the Cathedral, was assigned to the Committee by the Rt. Rev. John H. Richardson, Bishop of Fredericton, on behalf of the Cathedral, for use as the memorial site. Plans submitted by a Quebec firm were selected and the necessary funds were raised by public subscription. The site was surveyed by Mr. Andrew MacVey, Chief Bridge Engineer of the Provincial Department of Public Works, who had been approached by the Committee for consultation and advice on positioning and erecting the memorial. As specifications and plans did not convey a realistic picture to the Committee, Mr. MacVey constructed a cardboard model of the memorial so that, when opinions within the committee differed as to which way the memorial should face - up river, down river, toward the Cathedral or whatever - he was able to demonstrate with his model just how it would appear from any particular direction. Mr. MacVey also designed the layout of the lettering. The erection of the Cenotaph of Quebec stone was proceeded with at a cost of approximately $20,000 - a sizable sum of money in those days. It was dedicated on November 11, 1923, in a ceremony in which Frederictonians paid fitting tribute to their townsmen who had made the supreme sacrifice, and during which were called out the names of each of the one hundred and nine "Men of Fredericton Who Laid Down Their Lives in the Great War and Whose Names are Here Gratefully recorded by Their Fellow Citizens." In later years, the Cenotaph was floodlighted and bronze plaques were added commemorating those who fell in The Second World War and the Korean War. A beautiful memorial, it is an honour and a credit to those citizens of bygone days who regarded it as a solemn duty to perpetuate the memory and the deeds and sacrifices of the fallen. With its classic dignity and fine surroundings, it evokes a poignancy which is ever present but which seems almost physical and bayonet sharp on Remembrance Day when the haunting notes of Last Post, the supreme trumpet call, the saluting guns reverberate across the river to fade among distant elms into a silence that suddenly seems even deeper than before." At the going down of the sun, and in the morning We will remember them." Momentarily, there is a unity of resolve, a tightening of flesh, an ineffable loneliness as the ringing words rekindle a host of memories among the hushed assembly. In the first few years following The First World War the Armistice Day (later designated as Remembrance Day) ceremonies in Fredericton were organized by The Imperial Order, Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.)(Sir Howard Douglas Chapter) but, since 1928, Fredericton Branch of the Canadian Legion has always made the arrangements. The standard bearers of the various I.O.D.E. Chapters have continued to attend as a body. The following were members of the Fredericton War memorial Committee which raised the monument: Hon. Mr. Justice Crocket, Chairman; The Countess of Ashburnham; Lt. Col. T.G. Loggie; His Lordship Bishop Richardson; His Worship, Mayor J.A. Reid; Lt. Col. C.J. Mersereau; Alderman George H. Clarke; Hon. Mr. Justice Barry; R. FitzRandolph, Esq.; R.B. Hanson, K.C., M.P.; G.N.C. Hawkins, Esq.; U.New Brunswick Chancellor C.C. Jones, LLD; Mrs. N. Dougherty; C.A. MacVey, Esq.; J. Stewart Neill, Esq.; Alderman J.A. Cain; Alderman F.L. Cooper; Alderman Harry A. Smith; J.J.F. Winslow, K.C.; W.D. Gunter, Esq.; John T. Jennings, Esq.; E. Allison MacKay -Secretary.
