The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. A portrait of Clifford Charles Hummell is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 8 ½ inches, and had auburn hair and brown eyes.

Clifford sailed from Halifax aboard the RMS Empress of Britain on 18 June 1916. He joined the 46th Battalion on 11 August 1916, was wounded by a gas attack on 18 August 1918, recorded seriously ill on 23 August, and died on 24 August.

The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.

Here, on the farm of John Crysler, was fought one of the decisive battles
of the War of 1812. On 11 November 1813 Lieutenant-Colonel
Joseph Morrison, with 800 British and Canadian regulars, militia, and
Indians, engaged an American force of 4,000 under Brigadier-General
John Boyd. The open terrain was suited to the training of well-drilled
British regulars who, after two hours of heavy fighting, routed the
enemy. This victory ended a major American thrust at Montreal.

Ici fut livrée l'une des batailles décisives de la guerre de 1812. Le
lieutenant-colonel Joseph Morrison, à la tête de 800 hommes (réguliers
britanniques et canadiens, miliciens et Indiens) livrait combat, le 11
novembre 1813, aux 4 000 hommes du brigadier-général américain
John Boyd. Les réguliers britanniques, bien exercés au combat en rase
campagne, mirent les Américains en fuite après deux heures de rude
bataille. Cette victoire brisa la poussée importante de l'ennemi vers
Montréal.

The cenotaph in Legion Memorial Park, erected in 1923 by the citizens of Cornwall and suburbs, was originally dedicated to those lost in the Great War. It was designed by Emanuel Hahn, constructed in 1923 and unveiled June 5, 1925 by Baron Byng of Vimy.

Emanuel Hahn's statue design represents the sorrows caused by war. The bronze soldier atop the cenotaph looks down in sadness at the ground below him, as if he might find there, his fallen comrades, if not for the tragedy of war. The statue depicts a young, grieving Canadian soldier in First World War army uniform. With uncovered head, he is standing at a battlefield grave – a simple cross with poppies at the base – the final resting place of a comrade killed in action. His left hand rests on the cross, while his right hand holds a reversed rifle. 

After the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Legion debated constructing another memorial, but decided they already had a "very fine Memorial for our Comrades who fell in the First Great War". They decided instead, to build a Community Centre for this honour.

The cenotaph was later modified to include the Second World War and Korean War, as well as a plaque recognizing contributions made in peacekeeping and the Afghanistan theatre of operations. Presently it is used on November 11 for Remembrance Day ceremonies and also for the Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies.

Emanuel Hahn moved to Toronto at the age of seven with his family of artists and musicians from Germany, in 1888. He studied commercial design and model-making at Toronto Technical School and Ontario College of Art and Industrial Design. At 25 years old Hahn began a nearly lifelong contract with Thomson Monument Company of Toronto. Two years later, he also started work as a studio assistant to sculptor Walter Seymour Allward. Part of his duties included assisting on Allward’s significant works such as the South African War Memorial in Toronto.

In 1912 Hahn began an association with the Thomson Monument Company of Toronto. It was there, along with several assistants, he made the many war memorials that are found across Canada: Fernie, British Columbia; Killarney and Russell, Manitoba; Alvinston, Bolton, Cornwall, Hanover, Lindsay,  Malvern, Milton, Petrolia and Port Dalhousie, Ontario; Gaspe, Quebec; Moncton, New Brunswick; Springhill and Westville Nova Scotia; Summerside, Prince Edward Island.

Hahn is probably most famous as the designer of the Bluenose on the back of the Canadian dime and the Caribou on the back of the Canadian quarter. He was a victim of anti-German sentiment in the years following the Great War, when his design for the Winnipeg Cenotaph was rejected in 1925.

The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. A portrait of William Ellis Durant is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot, 5 inches, had brown hair and blue eyes. He had a small scar on his right index finger. His occupation before the war was School Teacher.

The day of his death he was leading his squadron over the Ypres front when he was attacked by two German planes which came down from above a cloud. He was shot through the head and fell near Battery Corner. 

The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.

Commemoration efforts in Nation Valley began in late 1919. On December 13, a small ceremony was held at the home of Sergeant Merkley's parents and individual memorial tablets were presented to families of the fallen. In August 1920, both the Winchester Press and Chesterville Record reported that a harvest dinner would be held to raise money for the Soldiers' Memorial Fund.

By February 1922, progress was being made on the Nation Valley Cenotaph; the Record reported that a group of men went to Winchester to take care of business related to the project. It is likely that they went to Stubbs & Gibson's monument business, which was commissioned to create the memorial. Made of black and grey Egyptian granite, the cenotaph stands over six feet tall. Small maple leaves adorn the corners of each side, and a wreath of maple leaves is displayed on the cap of the stone. The lettering was completed by Mr. Gibbs of Winchester.

On the morning of August 23, hundreds of people gathered on the lawn of the Nation Valley Public School at 12725 River Road to witness the unveiling of the cenotaph. The school was a meaningful site for the memorial, as all four soldiers were educated there. The ceremony was performed by Reverend William Brown, the Methodist minister from Chesterville. 

In the fall of 2014, the North Dundas Township Council discovered that the land where the monument was located was privately owned by the Munro family. A few years after the school closed in 1966, the school board sold the land to them. To ensure that the public would always have access to the cenotaph, the Munro family worked with the Township and the Chesterville Legion to have it moved to Veterans Memorial Park on Queen Street East, where Chesterville's own war memorial was (and still is) located.

The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. A portrait of Maurice Ogden Cheney is etched into his memorial. He had black hair, brown eyes and was 5 foot 7 inches. His occupation prior to the war was a farmer.

The Martintown Cenotaph is dedicated to the citizens of Martintown and surrounding area who gave their lives serving with the Canadian Armed Forces.

In 2019, the community was canvassed by letter and gave unanimous approval for a cenotaph. A team was selected and the first meeting of the Martintown Project Team was held on 2 March 2020. Following consultations and an extensive community fundraising effort, a plan was established for the construction of a field stone cenotaph. 

Its concrete slab and electrical work were completed in October 2020 and masonry in the spring of 2021. Stonemason John Steven of Martintown, used stones from the area, specifically the Campbell Murray farm, but many stones were supplied by the community. The wheelchair-accessible stone walkway was completed by Mike Viau and his crew. The cenotaph itself stands eight feet high. November 11, 2021, marked the first Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph.
