Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

This memorial, unveiled by the people of Tusket on 24 August 1924, was originally dedicated to the local war dead and veterans of the First World War. Another plaque was added later to commemorate the area's contribution to the Second World War.
