This memorial, erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 82, is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. Plaques are also presented to commemorate the seventy-fifth anniversary of the province of Alberta (1905-80) and the seventieth anniversary of the founding of the town of Daysland (1907-77). A local stonesman who has immigrated to Daysland from Denmark after the Second World War, volunteered to do the construction with community assistance. Following the Zone Rally in October 1981, the flame was lit by Mayor Ron Damberger, the Cenotaph was unveiled and a dedication service was conducted. In June 2005 two thirty foot flagpoles were added.
