This memorial was donated by the community of Gleichen and unveiled November 10, 1920. It was built by an Alberta firm from 25.4 tons of British Columbia grey granite. The appearance of the monument is rugged to harmonize with the pioneer days of the country and of the men who served.

The cenotaph displays three large bronze plaques situated on three sides of the monument that list the 235 local men who enlisted for service. At the top of the monument there is an additional granite structure with a brass plaque containing an honour roll consisting of 51 names of men who gave their lives in the First World War. Immediately below this structure is a band that contains the names of the battles and places that these men lost their lives. The cenotaph was paid for through subscriptions sold to members in the Gleichen Community and surrounding area.

Since the original unveiling, additions were made to honour those who served in the Second World War, Korean War and Afghanistan.

This mountain was named in 1918 in honour of Major-General Sir Edward Whipple Bancroft Morrison D.S.O. Mount Morrison and Mount Turner (48025-021) stand together. This is no coincidence as Morrison and Turner fought side by side in 1900 with the Royal Canadian Dragoons during the South African War. They were under the command of Brigadier-General Horace Smith-Dorrien. The Dragoons were a cavalry unit and had been ordered to cover the retreat of a British “search and destroy” column which was operating in the Komati river basin. The retreat was a slow operation. With only a single colt machine gun, the Dragoons were not in a strong position to defend the column. Lt. Morrison wrote, “I turned in my saddle and . . . Square across our rear a line of Boers a mile long was coming on at a gallop over the plain, firing from their horses. It looked like a spectacular finale in a wild west show. They were about 1500 yards away, but coming on rapidly and shooting at our gun, most of them, to try and stop it . . . I thought indeed we saw our finish.” Two troops of the Dragoons, one under the command of Lt. Turner, dismounted to try to hold off the attack. For his part in the action Lt. Turner was awarded the Victoria Cross, the citation reading, “When the guns were in danger of being captured, Lt. Turner, although he had already been twice wounded, dismounted and deployed his men at close quarters and drove off the enemy, thus saving the gun.” Following service in the South African War he became Editor-in-Chief of the Ottawa Citizen from 1898 to 1912. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his service in Africa and later became officer commanding the Canadian Artillery during the First World War.
