This memorial was erected by the Norwegian government to give thanks for the local hospitality shown to Norwegian military members stationed in Chester. It is similar to the stele in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. The monument in Chester is located near the Chester War monument. It was made in Nova Scotia and paid for by the Camp Norway Foundation. The monument was unveiled on May 28, 1994.
