The Corporal Wilbert McCaffery Plaque was unveiled in 1919. At some point, the plaque was combined into one frame with the United Church Caledon East First World War Honour Roll and Caledon East United Church Second World War Honour Roll.

This style of an Honour Roll was designed by A.J. Casson when he worked at Sampson-Matthews, a prominent midtown Toronto lithography and commercial art company. It was created after the Second World War and it is not known when it was unveiled. At some point, the Caledon East United Church Second World War Honour Roll was combined into one frame with the United Church Caledon East First World War Honour Roll and Corporal Wilbert McCaffery Plaque.

This Honour Roll was originally located in Mitchell United Church which was built in 1868 on land donated by the Mitchell family in the 1840s. Mitchell United Church consolidated with Mono Mills United Church to form Trillium United Church in 2016 at the former Mono Mills United Church location.

The Salem Community First and Second World Wars Honour Roll was originally located in Salem United Church located at 12295 Innis Lake Road, Caledon, Ontario. East Peel Pastoral Charge was formed in 1952 when Caledon East and Mono Road Pastoral Charges united. It included Caledon East, Salem Church in Albion Township, and Sandhill. It ceased circa 1986 when Caledon East United Church formed its own single-point charge and Salem and Sandhill formed a two-point charge, Salem-Sandhill Pastoral Charge. The Honour Roll was moved to the Early family home at 5754 Old School Road.

Initially there was a proposal to build a memorial on the church property, but instead it was decided to financially help the Mansfield memorial. The church then raised money for this baptismal font which was dedicated on 9 November 1919 by Catherine Jamieson, mother of Robert Charles Jamieson of the 5^th Battalion, Canadian Machine Gun Corps, who died of wounds on 30 August 1918. The Memorial Font honours the men of the parish who died in the First World War.

Artist Robert Allen donated this beautiful piece of art featuring oils on tempered glass. Entitled “Remember Always”, the piece includes a large Canadian Maple Leaf with the large stem representing the blood that many have shed for our freedom and the smaller leaves representing those who fell in the line of duty. The grass foreground symbolizes hope and joy. When the light shines through the glass the tones change and it becomes living art.

Inspired by a mother’s loss and sponsored by the Amaranth Lions Club, the playground at Bravery Park captures the essence of freedom – the freedom to play. It features poppies, an interpretive panel and a beautiful image designed by young artist Britten Woolley to poignantly reflect the bravery and resolve of our Canadian soldiers.

“The silhouette of the soldier’s bowed head in front of a maple leaf is used to show he is Canadian. I made the design inclusive by creating the shape by the neck to show a collar or hair to honour all genders of our soldiers. The maple leaf fades into doves showing that our soldiers spread peace across the globe.” (Britten Woolley).

Britten’s artwork was selected as the winning entry in the “Make your Mark” Contest hosted by the Bravery Park Committee and Amaranth Lions Club with local secondary schools. Britten attended the Ontario College of Art and Design. Each element in her design holds significance and is used to represent the meaning behind Bravery Park.
