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.

In 2016, Cliff Smith was commissioned by the Royal Canadian Legion Captain Fred Campbell VC Branch 134 to create a mural. The mural depicts the history of Canada's participation in various battles and wars from the First World War to the conflict in Afghanistan and has local history intertwined. It is broken into sections with piping as black lines so the pieces flow together. He began the mural in January and completed it in May.

The mural features battle scenes, Mount Forest Victoria Cross recipients Captain Frederick Campbell, and Lieutenant S. Lewis Honey, tanks and warplanes that were made in Canada, battleships, and a ship made in Newfoundland before it joined Confederation.
