In 2004, the Sutton Royal Canadian Legion created a mural to respect Veterans and different sections of the military. They commissioned a new mural in 2019. 

Mrs. Anne Wilson from Keswick uncovered a photograph of her son, Warrant Officer Robert Wilson, killed in action in Afghanistan in 2008. Mrs. Bulmer unveiled a photograph of her late husband, Major Max Bulmer, who served as a minister to Canadian Forces in Europe after the Second World War. Poppies grace the bottom of the mural.

The Keswick cenotaph was relocated in 2017 from its former site at the intersection of Church Street and The Queensway, to its current site in front of the Stephen Leacock Theatre on Glendolyn Avenue.

Walter Mackey and Seargent at Arms Rod Beswick of Royal Canadian Legion 356 Sutton suggested the relocation due to a number of issues, including its limited size, sloped landscape and out-of-the-way location that made it almost unnoticeable as part of the landscape.

Council approved a budget of $155,000 in 2018 and fast-tracked the project to accommodate services in 2018 that marked the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War.  A new permanent base was installed for the cenotaph, which was refurbished and carries two new inscriptions to its dedications to those who have served, including the First and Second World Wars, Korean War, Afghanistan, and peacekeeping.

SAMUEL LOUNT
1791-1838

A martyr of the Rebellion of 1837, Pennsylvania-born Samuel
Lount farmed and operated a smithy near Holland Landing. He
was generous with help and advice to new settlers, and from
1834 to 1836 sat as a reformer in the Legislative Assembly.
Hoping to expedite social and political change, Lount agreed to
command forces in William Lyon Mackenzie's uprising against
the government. When the rebels were soundly defeated on
December 7, 1837, Lount attempted to flee the country. He was
captured weeks later and convicted of treason along with another
prominent rebel, Peter Matthews. Disregarding petitions for par-
don bearing thousands of signatures, the authorities hanged the
two men at Toronto on April 12, 1838.

This memorial is intended to be a peace memorial rather than a war memorial. The statue of a grieving mother with a child in her arms was designed by Mr. John van Boxtel, who was liberated by Canadian Forces in Holland in 1944. The figure was cast at Asten, near Arnhem, Holland. It symbolizes all the suffering of a country at war, but also hope for peace in the future.

Colonel F. A. Tilston, V.C., C.D., LLD., unveiled the memorial on September 16, 1990, with numerous dignitaries in attendance from the Armed Forces, Veterans, representatives of Federal and Provincial Governments, as well as Regional Mayors and other dignitaries.

The stele is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. This cenotaph was erected, in 1920, by the citizens of Kettleby.

A small mortar is on display beside the cenotaph. This is a German 76mm Leitche Minenwerfer. It was a 400lb. model with recoil and a rifled barrel, capable of delivering a 1-kg charge a distance of between 325 and 1425 meters. It was also very mobile by using either the built in carrying handles or by wheeling it around like a wheelbarrow, by installing the wheels and two long horizontal poles as handles. The Leichte Minenwerfer was also used to shoot messages to the rear area by use of a special non- explosive message round. They were then retrieved by runners and delivered to the officer in charge. The German Army actually considered trench mortars to be demolition equipment rather than weapons, so they issued them to Pioneer Battalions (engineers).

A ceremony is held here each Rememberance Day. Found at the entrance to the Kettleby Cemetery.
