The only woman from Nissouri Township to serve overseas during the First World War was Nursing Sister Ada Lillian Buckle. She served with No. 10 Stationary Hospital, established by Western University medical faculty, from May 1917. She returned to Thorndale in June 1923 to unveil the cenotaph.

The memorial was dedicated to the memory of those who fell and in honour of those who fought and survived the First World War. Later, the Second World War was added to the cenotaph.
