This memorial, found in Hillcrest Cemetery, just south of town, was erected shortly after the Great War. The names of those lost in World War I are listed with great detail.
In 1990, a plaque was added by the Royal Canadian Legion Heather Branch 357 in nearby Finch, to honour those who served and died in World War II. A smaller plaque recognizes the Korean War.
