| Bear River, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia. Dedicated
in November 1932, in memory of all service
personnel who served in the 1914-1918 War.
The War Memorial, erected under the auspices of
the Bear River Woman's Institute, took several
years and many hours of hard work by the ladies
involved. Every November 11th, a special
Remembrance Service has been held, with placement
of wreaths. The Monument is kept in good repair
by the Bear River Legion Branch #22. In 1996, the
Rebekah's organization donated $10,000 for future
upkeep.

In the late 70s, the
Cenotaph was turned over to Bear River
Legion Branch #22, who started to make
plans to have the veterans of the 2nd
World War installed, along with the other
1st World War veterans. After several
years of study, it was decided not to
alter the existing stone work but place a
bronze plaque on the top to honour all
veterans of the 2nd World and Korean
Wars. This was dedicated in 1986. Three
years later, a bronze plaque listing the
names on the Honour Roll for both Wars
was installed at the bottom; a photo is
included showing the Cenotaph at the present
time.
