Grand Forks Cenotaph - Grand Forks, BC - World War I Memorials and Monuments on Waymarking.com

The Grand Forks Cenotaph was constructed in 1921 in memory of those who failed to return from service in World War I.

The polished grey granite Cenotaph was constructed by Alexander Ritchie of Campbell & Ritchie Monument Company, of Nelson, BC. It takes the form of a stepped granite obelisk upon a square three tiered base consisting of rough granite and concrete.

Dedications to those who sacrificed their lives in World War II and the Korean Conflict were added at later times.

The names of those who lost their lives in World War I and World War II are inscribed on the Cenotaph. Grand Forks' only son lost in Afghanistan, Darrell Priede, has recently been added to the cenotaph.
