Capturing Point Iroquois
7 November 1813
U.S. General Wilkinson’s invasion force met armed resistance by some 200 troops of the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia. 1200 troops of the 1st U.S. Rifle Regiment routed the militia and captured Point Iroquois. By delaying the enemy here and joining Lieutenant-Colonel Morrison’s forces, the 1st Regiment of Dundas Militia contributed significantly to the successful Battle of Crysler’s Farm.

Prise de la Pointe des Iroquois
7 novembre 1813
La force envahissante de Général américain Wilkinson a affronté la résistance armés de quelque 200 soldats du 1er Régiment de la Milice de Dundas. 1200 soldats du 1er Régiment des Fusiliers américain ont dérouté la Milice et capturé la Pointe des Iroquois. En retardant ici l’ennemi et en rejoignant les forces du Lieutenant-colonel Morrison, le 1er Régiment de la Milice de Dundas a contribué largement au succès du combat de la Ferme Crysler.

MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL
PARK

[dedication tablet/plaque commémorative]

Mountain Memorial
Community Park

A community meeting was held at Foster’s Hall on May 29, 1922 to organize a committee to purchase a 22 acre parcel of land from Charles Robinson for a park known as Mountain Memorial Community Park.

The Trustee Board consisted of 7 members – Sam Van Allen, Fred Barrigan, Robert Bryan, J.R. McGillis, Dr. A. Hoy, Frank Milne and Sam Workman.

A subscription canvas was conducted. Each donor was allowed one vote for each $5 donated. Much hard work, time and energy was given to the project in order to clear, level and see the north half of the park to make it a natural playground. The southern half was left as a woodlot.

The Mountain Memorial Community Park was officially opened on 12 November 1925 when Brigadier General S.W. Hill dedicated a light as a permanent memorial to the memory of fallen heroes of Mountain Township in the First World War. The light, erected on a tall flagstaff, was installed on a hill designated “Hill 70” and constructed in the centre of the park. The electric current was kindly donated by N.W. Beach. The hill commemorates the spot from which General Sir Arthur Currie conducted his first major operation as Commander-in-Chief of the Canadian Corps near Lens, France. A captured German machine gun was also mounted on the hill.

Over the years, neighbouring communities came to enjoy the many recreational facilities provided at the park. Hockey matches were played, skating was enjoyed to band music, carnivals were well-supported, ball tournaments took place on the soft ball diamond. Picknickers came to pass a summer’s afternoon walking along the winding cindered path through the shady woods and emerge again at a rustic pavilion built by S.W. Van Allen.

Le parc communautaire
commémoratif de « Mountain »

Lors d’une rencontre communautaire tenue à «Foster’s Hall» le 29 mai 1922, un comité fut crée dont le mandat était de procéder à l’achat d’un terrain de 22 acres appartenant à M. Charles Robinson pour en faire un parc connu aujourd’hui sous le nom de « Parc communautaire commémoratif de Mountain »

Le conseil des curateurs était composé de sept membres, sam Van Allen, Fred Barrigan, Robert Bryan, J.R. McGillis, Dr. A. Hoy, Frank Milne et Sam Workman.

On a procédé à une levée de fonds publique laquelle permettait d’obtenir un vote pour chaque 5$ versé. Beaucoup de travail dur, du temps et de l’énergie ont permis de défricher la partie nord du terrain, procéder à son nivelage puis l’ensemencer pour en faire un parc naturel d’amusement. La seconde moitié du terrain acquis devait demeurer boisé.

Le « Parc communautaire commémoratif de Mountain » a été officiellement ouvert au public le 12 novembre 1925. Le Brigadier général S.W. Hill a dédié une lampe comme élément commémoratif permanent à la mémoire des héros du comté de «Mountain» tués au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Cette lampe fut installée au sommet d’un grand mât érigé sur une petite colline appelée «Côte 70» située au centre de parc. L’alimentation électrique fut un don de N.W. Beach. Cette colline se veut un rappel de l’endroit où le Général Sir Arthur Currie a lancé sa première offensive majeure à titre de Commandant en chef des troupes d’infanterie canadiennes à Lens, en France. Une mitrailleuse allemande saisie au cours de cette bataille a également été installée sur la colline.

Au cours des années. Les membres des communautés environnantes ont pu jouir des facilités récréatives du parc dont des parties de hockey sur glace; on y venait faire du patin sur glace ou encore écouter des ensembles musicaux; les carnavals étaient bien fréquentés, suivis de tournois de balle molle. Les pique-niquers y venaient passer leurs après-midi d’été et marcher le long des sentiers sinueux à travers la forêt ombragée pour atteindre le pavillon rustique construit par S.W. Van Allen.
