In 1997, the plaque from the original cenotaph was removed and placed on this memorial. This new memorial is located in a larger area where it is more convenient to hold Remembrance Day ceremonies. It is dedicated to the youth of Brooklyn who died in the First and Second World Wars and was erected in July 1997 by Hants County Royal Canadian Legion Branch 9.
