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.

On December 3, 1947, the Frobisher Branch was formed. Some years later the BESL part of the title was dropped and it became The Royal Canadian Legion, Frobisher Branch 343. 

Over the years, there was always a November 11th service held, followed by a pot-luck meal and a time of singing and fellowship. This continued until 1997, when dwindling numbers in membership made it difficult to organize, so the Legion voted to attend and take part in the services at the school who very ably have been conducting a community service. In 1987, the Legion undertook a Remembrance project of putting up a photo gallery of all past Veterans and also made Honour Rolls to be placed in certain locations throughout the town. In 1990, a cenotaph was built in front of the Frobisher Legion hall to recognize the fallen soldiers of the great wars. In 1986, the Branch and Auxiliary held their 60th Anniversary celebration, which included a tulip planting campaign. After the Branch and Auxiliary closef in 2002, the property was turned over to the town and some of the members transferred to the Alameda Branch.
