Almonte Cenotaph
14 Bridge Street (beside the Almonte Old Town Hall), Almonte, Ontario Canada
This monument was constructed in the memory of the men of Almonte who fell for freedom. The Memorial "the Volunteer" was requested by the widow of Lt. Alex Rosamond. The finished work by Dr. R. Tait Mackenzie looked so much like her late husband that she had it changed.Lt. Alex Rosamond was killed in action at Courcelette on Sept. 15, 1916. The Volunteer was dedicated on Sept.11, 1923.
The memorial was redone in 1967 and again most recently in 2013.
