Mt. Arrowsmith Branch 49 Veterans Memorials
|
|
Parksville, British Columbia
In November of 1995 plans made by Georgia Keddy to purchase 3 veterans
memorials were approved. This was the first time in the North Central
Vancouver Island Zone, which contains 12 branches, that such a venture
had been attempted.
There are memorials located at St. Anne's Church, Knox United Church, and the Parksville
Funeral Chapel. The memorials were constructed in June of 1996 in memory of the Parksville and area veterans who survived the Wars and died in later years.

The dedication ceremonies took place on October 27, 1996. There was a color guard, a laying of wreaths, the unveiling, and then a light lunch served by the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 49.
