🎖️ Fredericton Cenotaph

The Fredericton Cenotaph is a war memorial in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It was dedicated on Armistice Day of 1923. While it was initially intended to memorialize residents of Fredericton who had died in World War I, its purpose was later expanded to include individuals who had died in both World War II and the Korean War, as well as members of the Canadian Merchant Navy. The memorial consists of a granite shaft with the names of several battles of World War I listed on it. Additionally, bronze plaques affixed to the structure list the names of individuals who had died in the three aforementioned wars. Near this structure is another granite structure consisting of an empty tomb topped with a helmet and several firearms, with a Christian cross at its head.
