This memorial is dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Charles Hamnett Pinhey. He was born in April 1891 at Pinhey’s Point and farmed the ancestral lands of his family. He was a member of the 43rd Regiment, Duke of Cornwall’s Own Rifles for three years before enlisting in the 38th Battalion in January 1915.

He served with the 38th Battalion during its period of garrison duty in Bermuda form August 1915 to May 1916. The Battalion left for England in June and by mid-August was occupying trenches east of Ypres. In September 1916, they joined the Canadian Corps in the Somme operations.

Charles Hamnett Pinhey was declared missing and presumed dead on November 18, 1916. Having no known grave, he is one of over 11,000 Canadian soldiers memorialized on the Vimy Memorial.

The St Mary’s Anglican Church First World War Roll of Honour and Second World War Roll of Honour are also located here.

In 1858, Judge Malloch built a magnificent home on Drummond Street West in Perth which he named Victoria Hall. The Judge’s family lived in the home until the 1870s, after which it remained vacant for almost fifty years, becoming known as “The Haunted House”. Judge Malloch had a feud with the craftsman who supplied the stone for the construction of the building, which resulted in the latter placing a Scottish Curse on the house which would last “until the building was put to the public good.”

Following the First World War, the Town sought a suitable memorial to commemorate the service and sacrifice of the men and women of Perth, and Victoria Hall was purchased to become its first hospital, thereby dedicating the building “to the public good”. On Armistice Day in 1924 the new twenty-bed hospital was dedicated, and named The Great War Memorial Hospital of Perth and District.

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital was incorporated on 31 March 1995 following the amalgamation of the Smiths Falls Community Hospital and the Great War Memorial Hospital.

Franktown is named in honour of Lieutenant Colonel (later General Sir) Francis Cockburn. Franktown was established sometimes after the settlement of Richmond in 1818, to serve as a major trading centre along with the other military settlements (Richmond, Perth, Lanark, etc.) that had been settled by disbanded British military personnel following the cessation of the War of 1812.

Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Cockburn had considerable success during the War of 1812 and by 1818 was made responsible for the military settlements in Upper Canada. He took great personnel interest in the military settlements and the potential prosperity of the district including the establishment of Franktown.

This mural is dedicated to Canadian First World War pilot Captain Arthur Roy Brown, DSC and bar, who the Royal Air Force officially credited with shooting down Manfred von Richthofen, the “Red Baron”. It was unveiled on November 13, 2012.

Arthur Roy Brown was born in Carleton Place in 1893 and joined the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) in 1915. By March 1917, he was flying coastal patrols off of Belgium, but his unit soon joined the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) in operations during the Battle of Arras and later the Somme. April 1918 saw the merger of the RNAS and the RFC to form the RAF.

On April 21, 1918, Brown was on patrol when his flight ran into German aircraft led by von Richthofen. Brown engaged von Richthofen in a “dog fight”, but was obliged to climb steeply to avoid crashing into the ground, losing his sight of Richthofen. The latter remained at low altitude and it is believed that he inadvertently drifted over to the Allied side where he was engaged by machine gun fire, eventually crashing near Australian trenches. Brown’s initial combat report was that the fight with Richthofen was “indecisive” – this was altered by his commanding officer to “decisive”. In any case, Brown was officially credited with the kill by the RAF.

Brown left the RAF in 1919, returning to Canada where he founded a small airline. He died in March 1944 in Stouffville, Ontario.
