LEST WE FORGET
ON HIS MAJESTY'S SERVICE
[benches/bancs]
In memory of all ex service personnel
Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 328
The Flinton Cenotaph to all ex service personnel is sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 328, in Northbrook. It honours the two World Wars, Korean War, Merchant Navy and Peacekeepers.
The names of local residents who bravely fought during the First World War are engraved on the cenotaph. A pair of stone benches and small garden flank the walkway to the cenotaph.
Bancroft was one of 140 communities selected from more than 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council. Each of the 140 new 70th Anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens across the country consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs (350 of each colour) donated by Vesey’s Bulbs in Prince Edward Island.
The garden was planted in the fall of 2015 by the Bancroft Horticultural Society. Tulip bulbs generally bloom between the end of April and the beginning of June depending on the type of tulip and where it’s planted.
The memorial is dedicated as a living monument in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the original Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden planted in Ottawa at the end of the Second World War in 1945. The memorial is in appreciation of the safe haven that members of Holland’s exiled royal family received during the Second World War, and in recognition of the role Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands.
The Bancroft Cenotaph is also at this location.

Colonel By Lake
Colonel By Lake is named in honour of Lieutenant-Colonel John By, Royal Engineers. The lake was named on November 4, 1971 by the Government of Ontario. It is located approximately 10 km northeast of Kingston.
John By was born in Lambeth (London) England in 1779 and graduated from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in 1799. He joined the Royal Engineers on December 20 of the same year and in 1802 was posted to Canada for the first time, where he worked on the fortification of Quebec City and on the construction of a canal at Iles aux Cascades. During the Napoleonic wars he returned to Europe, where he served in Spain under the Duke of Wellington from 1811 until 1815. In 1826, he returned to Canada to supervise the construction of the Rideau Canal. His first task was the construction of a town to house the men who were to work on the canal. The resulting settlement, called Bytown, would later be named Ottawa. The 200 km canal was completed in 6 years, and was acclaimed as an engineering triumph. However, Colonel By was recalled to London to face accusations that he had made a number of unauthorized expenditures. The charges were spurious and a parliamentary committee exonerated him. He died in 1836 and is buried in the village of Frant in East Sussex, southeast of England.

This cenotaph honours the citizens of the Marmora area who gave their lives serving in the First and Second World Wars.
[front/devant]
This memorial is erected to honour
Canada's soldiers who gave their lives in
the service of peace in Afghanistan
The sculpture of "The Guardian"
was rendered by Paul E. Shier
who generously presented it to the
Municipality of Tweed to stand as a
reminder to all Canadians of the
sacrifice made by members
of the Canadian Forces.
"LEST WE FORGET"
CANADIAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN
2002 - 2011
The Guardian is dedicated to those who died in Afghanistan. A baying wolf statue carved in local white marble was donated by Paul E. Shier, a local carver and sits atop a granite base. Its unveiling on May 10, 2007, was hosted by the Royal Canadian Legion Tweed Branch No. 428 and the Municipality of Tweed.
The Tweed Cenotaph is also located here.
Lieut.-Col. James Rogers
1726-1790
Born in Ireland, Rogers emigrated with his family to
Massachusetts Bay Colony about 1730. During the Seven Years'
War he served in the Queen's Rangers (Roger's Rangers),
a provincial corps raised by his brother Robert, and was
present at the capture of Louisbourg and of Quebec. In the
American Revolution he commanded the 2nd Battalion, King's
Rangers, thereby forfeiting some 20,230 ha in the old colonies.
In 1784 he led a party of about 300 disbanded King's Rangers
and their families to this vicinity where they were granted
land. Rogers, who first settled in Fredericksburgh, where he
became lieutenant-colonel of the militia, lived for a time
in Prince Edward County but returned to this township
before his death.

The Lieutenant-Colonel James Plaque was erected in 1963.
HAZELTON SPENCER 1757-1813
An important figure in early Upper Canada, Spencer was born
in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. During the American Revo-
lution he fought with the British forces and in 1784, when
his unit was disbanded, he settled here. Widely acknowledged
as a man of ability and stature, Spencer quickly achieved pro-
minence. He represented this region in the province’s first par-
liament (1792-96) and secured several judicial and adminis-
trative appointments. Continuing his distinguished military
career, he was commissioned an officer in the Royal Canadian
Volunteer Regiment and served in the garrison at Kingston
(1797-1800) where he was commandant and at Fort George
(1800-02). Spencer gained his highest office in 1794, how-
ever, with his appointment as Lieutenant of the County
of Lennox. He held this prestigious post until his death.
Erected by the Ontario Heritage Foundation, Ministry of Citizenship and Culture
Personnage important aux débuts du Haut-Canada, Spencer
est né à Greenwich, Rhode Island. Pendant la Révolution
américaine, il se bat aux côtés des forces britanniques et, en
1784, lorsque son unité est dissoute, il vient s’installer ici.
Reconnu par tous comme un homme fort compétent et de grande
envergure, il joue rapidement un rôle dominant. Il représente
cette région au premier parlement provincial (1792-1796) et
occupe plusieurs postes judiciaires et administratifs. Il pour-
suit sa brillante carrière militaire, est nommé officier au Royal
Canadian Volunteer Regiment, devient commandant de la garni-
son de Kingston (1797-1800) et sert à Fort George (1800-
1802). Spencer exerce, toutefois, ses plus hautes fonctions à
partir de 1794, losqu’il est nommé Lieutenant du comté de
Lennox, charge prestigieuse qu’il remplit jusqu'à sa mort.

The Hazelton Spencer Plaque was erected in 1986.
ESCAPE OF THE ROYAL GEORGE 1812
Opposite here is the gap between Amherst Island and the
eastern tip of Prince Edward County. On November 9, 1812,
the British corvette “Royal George” (22 guns), commanded
by Commodore Hugh Earl (e), was intercepted off False Duck
Islands by an American fleet, comprising seven ships under
Commodore Isaac Chauncey. Pursued by the enemy, “Royal
George” escaped through this gap into the Bay of Quinte’s
North Channel. The chase resumed in light winds the
following day when she arrived safely in Kingston harbour.
Chauncey, intent on capturing the largest British warship
then on Lake Ontario, attacked her in the harbour but after
exchanging fire with “Royal George” and shore batteries,
was forced to withdraw.

The Escape of the Royal George 1812 Plaque was erected in 1962.
