Paul Rellinger a.k.a Relly is an award-winning journalist and longtime former newspaper editor still searching for the perfect lead. When he's not putting pen to paper, Paul is on a sincere but woefully futile quest to own every postage stamp ever issued. A rabid reader of history, Paul claims to know who killed JFK but can't say out of fear for the safety of his oh so supportive wife Mary, his three wonderful kids and his three spirited grandchildren. Paul counts among his passions Peterborough's rich live music scene, the Toronto Maple Leafs, slopitch and retrieving golf balls from the woods. You can follow Paul on Twitter at @rellywrites.

Sculptor Walter Allward's war memorial in Peterborough features two allegorical figures in bronze, with the figure representing civilization standing in a commanding position with a sword in one hand and the other hand outstretched toward the figure representing strife, who is retreating with one arm covering his face in despair and the other carrying an extinguished torch. Dedicated to the 717 local men and women killed overseas, the memorial was unveiled on June 30, 1929 and was modified in 1978 to add bronze plaques with the names of the dead from the Second World War and the Korean War.
