Weedon Cenotaph

The "Société d'Histoire de Weedon" erected this memorial unveiled on November 14, 2004. This Cenotaph is dedicated to the Veterans of Weedon, including St-Gérard and Fontainebleau. The monument was created by Laurier Poulin. The sculpture overhanging the monument is the work of Denis Beaucher. The sculpture means “End of the voyage.” Dark granite is a fitting medium for the sculpture, as it represents a soldier whose mission has ended. His helmet lies on a boulder, indicating that he died in combat.
