Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 171, this memorial is dedicated to the war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The memorial was built by Mr. WM Short, a local carpenter, at 5117 – 50 Street in 1955. It was unveiled and dedicated that November by the Reverend Major of the Anglican Church. It was moved to it’s present location in 1964, and both it and the Royal Canadian Legion Hall were rededicated. The Hall and the memorial have also undergone maintenance and upgrading changes over the years.

This memorial to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the memory of the Korean War was erected by the village of Millet and the Royal Canadian Legion. Constructed in June, 1947, in memory of the Millet and District. The cairn was originally built in June of 1947 by Legion Members of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 229, Millet, under the direction of founding president, Gerry Scott. It was located at the corner of 52nd Street and 47th Avenue where the Legion Hall was on leased land. The cenotaph was a square tapered structure made of stone with two pillars in front of it. When the land lease expired, the Legion found a new home for its hall but the monument was moved to 52nd Street and 50th Avenue which, today, is a vacant lot. Upon moving the cairn, great damage was done and a similar cairn was built of wood covered with rock slices. Throughout the years, the cenotaph was a gathering place for Remembrance Day services. Today, services are held indoors due to aging veterans. The cairn was placed on this site in 1973, departed from the Legion Hall. A lack of pillars is the only difference between this cenotaph and the original. The cost of maintaining the cairn has been very good, with only occasional masonry work. The Millet Legion burned to the ground on April 7, 1997, with new plans set to rebuild on the lot where the cenotaph sits, once again united. All records of events and history of the cairn were lost in the fire with other artefacts collected from veterans. More information is being discovered, but in the meantime, all the legion members have left for memories is the cairn.
