This memorial, unveiled by Mayor J. Raymond Mathieu on 3 June 1990, was erected by Le Régiment de la Chaudière in honour of its Second World War dead.

The War Memorial Library in Hudson is a non-profit registered charity providing a subscription library of printed and digital materials, primarily in the English language, to the residents of Hudson, Quebec and surrounding communities. Operated by volunteers, the Library is self-financing through membership fees, donations and fund raising activities. The Library in turn donates, to local charities, funds in excess of its own needs. The building and the Library serve as a memorial to those in Hudson who served in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Hudson’s two libraries are the Como Lending Library and the War Memorial Library. The first one was founded in 1849 and though most of it was destroyed in a fire in 1988, it is still in operation at the rebuilt St. Mary’s Parish Hall. St. Mary's Anglican Church was built in 1867 in Gothic Revival Style (but without the buttresses). 

Pointe Fortune is named in honour of Colonel William Fortune, member of the Prescott County Militia, Loyalist and veteran of the American Revolution, surveyor and first settler in the town of Pointe-Fortune.

William Fortune was born in Ireland in 1748 and emigrated to North America with his parents and siblings, arriving in Charleston South Carolina in August 1767 aboard the ship Britannia. Upon arrival, the Fortune family members were given land grants in Fairfield District/County in north central South Carolina where William Fortune obtained a 100 acre lot. Married around 1770, not much is known of his young adulthood other than he seems to have remained a Loyalist for much of the American Revolution, and as a member of a Loyalist American regiment in South Carolina, fought at the Battle of Camden and the Battle of Eutaws. It appears that he was captured at one point and may have unwillingly fought under American Colonel Thomas Taylor as William Fortune’s name appears on a list of Taylor’s deserters. Upon cessation of the American Revolution, William Fortune sailed for England in 1783 but returned to North America in 1788, landing in Quebec City. Working as a surveyor, he is granted land in lieu of payment in the area of present-day Plantagenet and in 1797, a further 1000 acres near present-day Pointe-Fortune, where he is considered the first settler of the town. By 1803, William Fortune is a Colonel with the Prescott County Militia but returns to England around 1812. He dies in the village of Hurstpierpoint, England in 1822.

This memorial, a bronze statue on a granite shaft, has been erected by the township of Argenteuil in honour of those who died during the First World War. The sculpture is the work of George W. Hill.

George William Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, in 1861. He learned to carve marble in his father’s company, after he graduated from college. Between 1889 and 1894, he left Quebec to study sculpting at the École nationale des beaux-arts and Académie Julian in Paris. When he returned to Montreal, he opened a studio and worked with architect Robert Findlay and brothers Edward and William S. Maxwell. Known for his public monuments and war memorials, he is now considered one of the most important Canadian sculptors of the early twentieth century.

Hill designed several monuments commemorating Canadians lost in the South African War, including the Strathcona and South African Soldiers' Memorial in Quebec and Boer War Soldiers Monument in Ontario. At the end of the First World War, Hill was awarded several contracts by towns and cities wishing to pay homage to citizens who had died on the battlefields. Between 1920 and 1930 he designed these monuments: Westmount Cenotaph, Magog Cenotaph, Argenteuil Cenotaph, Richmond Cenotaph, Sherbrooke War Memorial in Quebec; Pictou County War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldier's Monument, The Soldier and Nurses’ Memorial in Ontario; and the Soldier's Monument in Prince Edward Island.
