This tall memorial was erected in 1921, by the Township of Otonabee, to honour the dead of the First and later the Second World Wars.  Each month a fresh wreath is placed at the base of the memorial each month.  The grounds, bordered by a black metal fence, are maintained by the Royal Canadian Legion Otonabee Branch 607 and the North Shore Women's Institute, who ensure the landscaping and flowers are kept in good condition.
