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.
Erected in 1925 by the town of Strathmore, this memorial was originally dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. An inscription for the local war dead of the Second World War was added later.
There was a German field gun behind it, one of thousands captured at the end of the war and hauled back to Canada.
