This beautiful memorial was erected by the Madoc Women's Institute and unveiled with full military honours in November of 1928. It pays tribute to the men of this vicinity who gave their lives in sacrifice during the Great War.
In later years the names of those lost in the Second World War where engraved in the back of the great stone. A small plaque acknowledging the Korean War was also added.
Beside the memorial are two German trench mortars and also an Ontario Historical Plaque dedicated to John Weir Foote, who bravely earned the Victoria Cross on the beaches of the failed Dieppe Raid in 1942. He is the only Chaplain to have received the highest award in WWII.
