A small cenotaph sits in Tryon People’s Cemetery on PEI Rd 10 about ½ km from the Trans-Canada Highway on Prince Edward Island. It honours three local men killed in WW1 and 20 who served.
On the front:

Capt. James Farrow
On the sides, the names of those who served:

- Earl D MacPhee, Alfred Lefurgey, George Hennessy, Everett Howatt, Chesley Howatt, Lewis Dawson, John Foy, Lee Calbeck, Alfred Caird, Harold Leard.
The top of the monument is shaped like a log covered by an olive branch on top of a maple leaf.
