(133rd BATT. CREST)
The 133rd Norfolk's Own Overseas Battalion
of the Canadian Expeditionary Force under the command of Lt.-
Col. A. C. Pratt was enlisted largely from the 39th Norfolk
Rifles of the Canadian Militia in November 1915.
They trained at Camp Borden in the spring of 1916 and sailed
from Halifax on the S.S. Lapland October 30th 1916 with a
strength of 680 officers and men.
Early in 1917 in England the Battalion was disbanded and the
members assigned to other Canadian units, most of which served
in France and Belgium. A combined total of over 100 lives
were lost from the Battalion in the following battles.

Their devotion and service has secured an honoured place for

This historical plaque was erected in 1973
The Simcoe Carillon Tower is dedicated to Norfolk County residents who died in the First and Second World Wars. It was erected by the Committee of Prominent Veterans in 1925. Construction started November 4, 1924 and the dedication ceremony took place on June 17th, 1925. The structure is 60 feet in height and 22 feet square. It is constructed of Hagersville limestone and trimmed with carved Indianna stone and is set on a pile of foundation. It comprises 23 bells weighing over 8,000 pounds. In 1946, a plaque was added with the names of those killed in the Second World War. Excerpts from: The Carillon Tower Compiled by: Grade Six Enrichment Students of St. Joseph's School The Carillon Tower, in the stillness of the night, stands out as a guardian, watching over the Town of Simcoe. In the autumn of 1919 some of Simcoe's townspeople decided to do something about erecting a memorial in tribute to the soldiers who lost their lives in the war. Mr. George Werrett called a mass meeting in co-operation with the Great War Veteran's Association to consider a suitable memorial for Norfolk's war heroes who sacrificed their lives in the First World War. Sproatt and Rolph, famous architects from Toronto, were consulted, as well as Mr. Houseman, Managing Director from the Gillette & Johnston Bell Founding Company. Eventually the decision was made to construct a stone tower 60 feet in height that would contain a Carillon of 23 bells. The money for the construction was raised through a county-wide campaign. The tenders received were higher, by thousands of dollars, than the original estimates hoped for by the committee and the architects. The Board of Education offered to supply the site where the Memorial now stands. It was apparent that the town was banding together and that the additional funds would be raised. The Starting of the Construction: On November 4, 1924, a carload of smooth stone had arrived. The stone was to be used in the design on the entrance, the belfry and the window. Due to the fact it was located near the Lynn River, it had to be built on a series of piles. The monument is built as a solid block with design features being divided into four horizontal components. Differences occur in the lower half of the tower with the upper half being the same on all four elevations. The side facing onto Norfolk Street is the most impressive of the four sides. The doorway opening contains a thick, vertical, wooden plank door with a semi-circular stone transom inscribed with the words "Norfolk's War Memorial". Two commemorative bronze plaques on either side of the doorway honour the soldiers who died in the First and Second World Wars. There are ten paned leaded windows located in the tower. Above the window, in the upper half of the tower, is the bronze dial of the clock. In the upper section of the tower above the Norman arch motif of the doorway is a series of six semi-circular openings which allow the sound of the bells to travel away from the tower. The decorative stone labels are carved to form gothic arches. Again each of the openings is surrounded by colonettes. In the year 1925, Gillette & Johnston, Croydon, England were well established in bell founding. This influenced Simcoe townspeople's' decision to request Gillette & Johnston to cast the bells for the Carillon Tower. Gillette & Johnston's Managing Director, Mr. R.F.A. Houseman, met with the Norfolk War Memorial Committee to agree on a contract. Thousands of people attended the inspirational dedication ceremony on the wonderfully sunny afternoon of Wednesday, June 17, 1925. Never in Simcoe's history had there been a larger parade that marched downtown to the Tower. The Boy Scouts led the parade, with over 500 Great War Veterans beside them. Next marched a firing party, the 1st Norfolk Rifles Band, the 1st Battalion of Norfolk Rifles, under Lieutenant Colonel A.A. Winter, and pupils of Simcoe High and other Public Schools. The two Memorial plaques on the west side, containing the 217 names of Norfolk County men, who had been killed, were unveiled by Mrs. Abram West, of Houghton. She was a mother of three sons lost in the war. The other two Memorial plaques on the east side, containing 12 names of former Simcoe Composite School students were unveiled by Mrs. Christian Quanbury. Her two sons names were also included. The Re-Dedication: June 29th, 1975 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Carillon Tower. It was celebrated by a Re-Dedication Ceremony. Thousands of Simcoe residents attended. The Norfolk War Memorial is the second carillon installed in Canada (the first being at the Metropolitan United Church, Toronto) and the twelfth in North America. What is a carillon? A carillon is a set of bells that cover at least two octaves (23 bells) in chromatic series. They are perfectly tuned and pleasing harmonies may be produced by playing two or more bells together. The carillon is generally played from a clavier of keyboard. This consists of two rows of short handles or levers which are struck with the extended fist, and a row of foot pedals. The Carilloneurs: It has been through the efforts of dedicated and talented people that the residents of Simcoe have been able to enjoy Carillon concerts throughout the years. The carilloneurs throughout the time have been: Percival Price - 1924 Kamiel Lefevere - 1926 Henri Sohier - 1925 - 1943 assisted by Herman Dreher Herman Dreher 1943 - 1969 Angus MacLeod - 1969 - 1975 June Somerville - 1975 to present time Monica Graham - 1983 to present time

This memorial features a statue of local war hero Corporal William Knisley who served with the Canadian Mounted Rifles (later known as the Royal Canadian Dragoons) during the South African War. He earned the Distinguished Conduct Medal for rescuing a comrade while under heavy fire during the Battle of Leliefontein in November 1900.
Knisley survived his first tour of duty and was welcomed back to his hometown of Jarvis, Ontario. He soon re-enlisted to return to South Africa. Corporal Knisley took part in the Battle of Harts River in late March 1902, where he and a few fellow soldiers became separated from the rest of the Canadian troops. A much larger enemy force soon tracked them down and trapped the small band of Canadians in a makeshift defensive position. Corporal Knisley lost his life on April 2, 1902, during the ensuing fighting.
