Geocache Description:


You are seeking a short two stage multi cache that begins at a monument on the grounds of St. James Anglican Church. This church, founded in 1895, has served the community for over 110 years. Here on the grounds is a monument that honors the men from the area that died in the service of their country during World War 1, and each man honored was buried in France.

The monument honors William R. Pickard, T. Henry Bye, Charles G. McSorley, Charles I. McSorley, and Ivan McLean. Listed on the monument is information as to their age, and where in France they were killed. These men fell during battles that demanded so much from so many, the Canadians who served brought honor and respect to Canada as a whole.

To determine the coordinates for the final, gather information from each of the four faces of the monument.
