This memorial is dedicated by the People of Beautiful Plains and Citizens of Neepawa to the memory of those who served in the First and Second World Wars and Korea.
In 1920 the Canadian William A. Rogers Limited Company published a catalogue of memorial designs including the overlife-sized statue of a soldier in greatcoat. According to the catalogue, Rogers was at that time the only bronze foundry in Canada that had successfully made large casts like this. The figure is a cast from a model by a St. Boniface sculptor named Nicolas Pirroton.
