Erected by local residents, this memorial is dedicated to three local soldiers killed during the First World War. Their names are also listed on the cenotaph outside the Borden-Carleton Legion.
On July 1, 2020, there was a ceremony to inaugurate a new flagpole and bench at the Tyron Cenotaph. The event was attended by several members of the community and surrounding communities. It was coordinated by the Tryon Women’s Institute, Tryon People’s Cemetery, and Merry Pop-Ins Childcare Centre, with funding for the flagpole and bench provided by Heritage Canada.
