Saltcoats and District Cenotaph

Saltcoats Cenotaph

Located on the East end of Commercial St.

In a lovely setting, overlooking Anderson Lake, the Saltcoats, and District War Memorial was erected in 1920 in honour of the 79 men who paid the supreme sacrifice in the 1914-1918 War.

Their names are etched in the stone and forever in our memories.

In the Victory Loan Campaigns, Saltcoats and districts over-subscribed every year. This resulted in the community winning the captured German gun, awarded by the Dominion Government. The gun had wooden wheels when first mounted here.

After the 1939-45 War, a plaque was placed on the memorial with the names of the 12 men and one woman who died in that conflict.
