Petrolia, Lambton County, Ontario
The solemn granite soldier in Petrolia's town hall park, like the statue in Alvinston, was designed by Toronto
sculptor, Emmanuel Hahn. It is rich with symbolic details such as the cross the figure holds, the flag draped
behind him and the poppies and chain at his feet. The names of 88 area men are inscribed on the monument.
