This memorial is dedicated to those killed in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected in 1921.

Coeur de Lion MacCarthy (1881-1979) was the son of Hamilton MacCarthy, a sculptor responsible for a range of war memorials, especially for the Boer War. The younger MacCarthy was commissioned to create the determined bronze infantryman in Trois?Rivières, apparently about to plunge his bayonet into the viewer below. MacCarthy’s war memorial figures exhibit an emotional range probably unmatched among Canada’s war memorial sculptors.
