The Aubry Cosen V.C. Memorial Bridge is the most recognizable symbol of the Northern Ontario town of Latchford. The Bridge was built to carry Highway 11 over the Montreal River and named after a rather brave member of the community.
Cosens was 23 years old, and a sergeant in The Queen's Own Rifles of Canada, Canadian Army during the Second World War.
On the night of 25/26 February 1945 at Mooshof near Uedem, in Germany, Sergeant Cosens assumed command of the four survivors of his platoon whom he placed in position to give him covering fire and then, running forward alone to a tank, took up an exposed position in front of the turret and directed its fire. When a further counter-attack had been repulsed and, on his orders, the tank had rammed some farm buildings, he went in alone, killing several of the defenders and taking the rest prisoners. He then dealt similarly with the occupants of two more buildings, but was shot by a sniper when he went to report back to superior officer
