This memorial was dedicated at Currie Barracks to the personnel of No. A-16 Canadian Infantry Training Centre who died in the Second World War. On 15 February 1941, the army training centre at Currie Barracks was designated No. A-16. It was primarily tasked with the training of individual soldiers rather than the collective training of formed units. Later in the war, the focus of this individual training was for National Resources Mobilization Act. The Centre remained in operation well after the war ended.

The No. A-16 Canadian Infantry Training Centre Second World War Memorial was moved to The Military Museums.
