| Brantford, Ontario
This Monument pays tribute to the men and women that made
the great sacrifice during World War I. Almost every able-bodied man in the city of Brantford
volunteered for duty. After the War, the citizens of Brantford wanted to erect a monument to loyalty, bravery and sacrifice. The members of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire were the sole contributors to this Cenotaph. A local architect, F.C. Bodley, designed the Monument which includes the same inscription as that on the King George V medals which were sent to wives and mothers of those who fell in the War of 1914-1918. Originally dedicated on November 11, 1923, the Monument was moved to the present site on June 2, 1992 and rededicated on November 11, 1992.
