SOUTHWOLD WAR VETERANS' MEMORIAL

The Memorial Site is designed to be a simple, dignified place of solitude where
members of the community and visitors may enjoy a quiet moment of reflection on
the heritage of Southwold Township.

Its geometry is defined by a concrete circle, symbolic of those who "joined together"
in the common cause of defending democracy and freedom.

Two great stones, one for each World War, represent the "roots" of the township and
firm resolve of the young people who left their homes, families and community to
face the uncertainty of impending conflict. These stones were drawn from the fields
of area farms near Talbotville and Boxall.

A bronze sundial stands between the stones. It represents "remembering for all time"
those from our community who served and who gave their lives for their country.

A bronze plaque identifies the honoured veterans who lost their lives in World I
and World War II.

This memorial was designed and constructed by community volunteers in
partnership with the Rosy Rhubarb Committee and the Municipality of Southwold.
Funding was provided by donations from citizens, businesses, community
organizations and the Province Of Ontario.

LIEUT.-COL. MAHLON BURWELL
1783-1846

Born of Loyalist parents, Burwell became a deputy-surveyor
in 1809 and was instructed to lay out the Talbot Road for
settlement. He was granted 600 acres of land in southwold
Township where he settled in 1815. A close associate of
Col. Thomas Talbot. Burwell carried out extensive surveys
in southwestern Upper Canada which prepared the way for
settlement. He served in the War of 1812 as lieutenant-colonel of the 1st middlesex Militia, was a justice of the
peace, and for some 20 years represented this area in the
legislative assembly. This community named in his honour
was laid out by Burwell in 1830.
