The Newdale & District War Memorial was constructed between 1919 and 1920 in memory of the community's sons who fell in the First and Second World Wars and Korean War. This fine tribute was unveiled by Lieutenant Governor Sir J.A.M. Aikins. The monument stands 18 feet high, the foundation is cement, the base and die of grey granite, and is surmounted by a life size statue of a Canadian Soldier carved in white carrerra marble by Signor Nicolai Rombello of Italy.
The soldier is in webbing (personal load-carrying equipment) and wearing a helmet. He stands at attention with his left leg slightly advanced and a reversed rifle at his side. The origin of the statue in Italy explains why the uniform was not 100% accurately Canadian. The carvers were usually careful to put a maple leaf where Canadian uniforms had this symbol (on the cap and collar).
In 1946 a bronze plaque bearing the names of the fallen of both World Wars was placed on the face of the stone.
