The Beachville Memorial was originally erected in the front of the Beachville Public School grounds, in the early 1920s. It consisted of a plaque placed in a stone cairn, later plaques were added to commemorate the Second World War and the Korean War. Following the closure of the school in 2011, the plaques were deeded to Beachville Legion and officially handed over during a short ceremony on November 28, 2012. The plaques are now located within the entrance of the Legion branch.
