The first picture in the group below is one taken by our trusty Legion Photographer Bill Beswetheric. It shows our Cenotaph in our Town Park and our Victoria Cross Cairn.
The Victoria Cross was won by John H Brown, who died of wounds 17 August 1917 at the early age of 19 years, in the Battle of Hill 70, Lens, France. He was born in Gananoque, 9 May 1898.
THE VICTORIA CROSS
Two things have altered not
Since first the world began.
The beauty of the wild green earth,
And the bravery of man.
