  • Memorial– A shaft across from Roncalli High School in Port Saunders, NL was constructed in memory of Ambrose Ellis and Rueben Perry who died from wounds received in action during the First World War, 1918-1917. Site used mainly by 857 Roncalli Air Cadets and veterans of the area for Remembrance Day parades. Originally located at the ESSO Service Plant field in Port Saunders, the monument was moved several years ago when dealership of the local ESSO plant changed hands. Now located across from the Roncalli High School in Port Saunders, it serves the area's veterans and citizens and, on Remembrance Day, all veterans, families and friends are remembered with a service, wreaths are laid and prayers are said. Upkeep has been taken on by volunteers, most recently by Vincent McCarthy and Dwaine McCarthy, who mowed the grass and painted the inscription on the monument and also placed the Canadian flag at the site.
