A Forgotten Tribute

This cairn to the fallen men of Elder's Mill is located in the old Knox Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Vaughan, Ontario. The church is long gone and the cemetery a reminder of those from a by gone era. But at the front is this nearly forgotten tribute to the men of a long gone community.  Just like the war they served in, both have faded into memory.
