Nova Scotia

The mural in the officers mess was designed by war artist Tom Wood. It was painted by Gordon Stranks of the Naval Art Service.

This cenotaph is replacing the original monument, built in 1953. That monument served the community well, however, the years of environmental exposure took their toll. Issues also arose as to the original site, so for the restoration of the monument/cenotaph, Port Royal Branch 21 chose to build the new one adjacent to the Branch.

The replacement monument/cenotaph is adjacent to the curent home of Port Royal Branch 21. The Cenotaph is made up of three granite slabs which sit on a raised cement base. On the front of the cenotaph, each of two stones is dedicated to each war, WWI and WWII with the third dedicated to Korea, Peacekeeping and Afghanistan. Those who gave the supreme sacrifice are listed on the appropriate stone.

On the obverse side, the three original brass plaques are placed, one on each granite stone, the larger one on the center stone. On each of the stones is etched a design of poppies and barbed wire entwined. As well, on the center stone, there is an etching of the Canadian Forces crest at the top above the larger of the three brass plaques.

The War Memorial and Park is an open space in the central business district on Main Street in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. It was erected in 1923 after two-and-one-half years of planning and work by a committee appointed for the purpose. The project began at the urging of the local Council of Women in November, 1920, and was taken up by the Town Council of the time. The twenty-three member executive committee appointed to decide what form the memorial would take was comprised of councilors from the three municipal units within Yarmouth County as well as returned servicemen and representatives from nearly every organization within the town. General meetings were held seeking input from the general populace and a monument was finally decided upon as a fitting memorial.

The search for a suitable design for a statue eventually ended with the choice of a soldier designed by Henri Hébert of Montreal. The seven foot tall statue was cast in bronze and weighed 680 kilograms. The base section was designed and fabricated by Noble & Hyde of Montreal, an architectural firm which had designed many monuments already erected in Canada, and the granite for its construction was supplied by the Standard Granite quarries. The cost of the entire War memorial was $16,500, all of which was raised by volunteers canvassing for donations. Following the end of World War II, bronze plaques with the names of those who had lost their lives were affixed around the base of the monument, and similarly, after the Korean War a separate granite marker was placed next to the base to commemorate those lost in that conflict.

The memorial is in memory of and to honour the men and women of Yarmouth County who lost their lives in World War I, World War II, and the Korean War.

This monument was erected by the Maple Grove Education Center ("back" monument dedicated to Afghan fallen, May 2009) and Memorial Club Members ("front" monument dedicated to all fallen, unveiled in 1986). The back monument is made of slabs of black granite, in-between grey granite pillars adorned with maple leaves. It is set behind the first monument, made of slabs of grey granite. 

The site for both monuments was chosen close to the school and on school grounds so that the students would have an on-site place to learn about the sacrifices of past and present generations.

The back monument was built by the efforts of Heritage Memorials of Windsor, Nova Scotia, Rose Valley Construction, The Royal Canadian Legion, students and staff of Maple Grove School and Yarmouth High School Memorial Club, citizens, Veterans organizations, and the Memorial Club Parent Support Group. The funds for the monument were raised through bake sales, ticket draws, and penny collections from the students, plus funds from all levels of government. In less than a year after the back monument was unveiled, all names of the Afghan fallen were etched into the stone. 

More than 120 names, starting with Pte Nathan Smith, who died in a "friendly fire" incident in April 2002, have been etched into the face of four of the six black granite slabs standing in a single rank. Names of the fallen will continue to be added periodically.

Erected by the Congregation of the South Ohio Baptist Church on September 9, 1923, this granite memorial is dedicated to members of the community that died in World War I and World War II. It sits on the former site of the South Ohio Baptist Church, which was demolished in 2007. The names of WWI fallen soldiers are etched into the largest part of the structure, and those from WWII around the lower section. This memorial shares the site with the church bell.

Honouring our fallen heroes - Yarmouth students raised funds for this Afghanistan memorial beside school. More than 120 names, starting with Pte Nathan Smith, who died in a "friendly fire" incident in April 2002, have been etched into the face of four of the six black granite slabs standing in a single rank. Names of the fallen will continue to be added periodically.
