After the First World War in 1924 the "The Eagle River Valley Branch" of the G.W.V.A. No. 64 erected a cenotaph at Malakwa's Cemetery to commemorate those who had given their lives for peace. The Cenotaph was built by community volunteers and the property for the Cenotaph was donated by Mr. and Mrs. McGlone. This memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939 - 1945) and the Korean War (1950 - 1953).
