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 2020, a Bridge of Remembrance was erected to honour the 119 fallen soldiers from Transcona who died during the First and Second World Wars and were buried overseas. The bridge connects the older Field of Honour area with the newly expanded area to the west. 

The military section of the Transcona Cemetery was established on June 18, 1918 when the Town Council of Transcona set aside Block 3 for the sole use of members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The military section was properly named Field of Honour in the 1980s.
