Erected in 1967, by the Brooklyn Women's Institute to honour those who lost their lives in war.

The gray granite Brooklyn Monument was a 1976 Canada Centennial project. Having been moved from its original location of Highway #3 adjacent to Bowater Mersey Paper Mill, it is now located on the grounds of the First Brooklyn Cemetery (1840 - 1930).

Inscribed on the monument is:

"TO THOSE WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY IN TIME OF WAR"

"THEY GAVE THEIR TODAY FOR OUR TOMORROW"
