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, which incorporates a brick cairn and an unidentified field gun, was erected by local residents in memory of the local war dead of the First World War. A second plaque was added to the memorial in September 1983 by the Meota Celebrate Saskatchewan Committee in honour of the local war dead of the Second World War.
