War Memorial - Dildo, Newfoundland - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

When this memorial to The Great War was created, it would have been immediately beside All Saints' Anglican Church. Ruins of the earlier church building can still be seen in the grass nearby.

Decades later, two additional memorials list participants as well as fatalities in World War I, World War II and the Korean War.
