In 1963, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 155 made plans to build a cenotaph with financial help of the Ladies Auxiliary. First World War Veteran P.D. McMunn donated the red flint granite from a quarry in McMunn, Manitoba that was started by his father. The cenotaph was completed in early October of 1964 by stone mason Edward Polsarrd of Winnipeg and features carefully cut and placed stones that are inset with white mortar.

It was dedicated on November 11, 1964, by Winnipeg Legion chaplain Ven. Archdeacon George E. Phillips, to honour the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The cenotaph was unveiled by Reverend W.G. Martin. The stone work was repointed in 2021.

In 1920 the Canadian William A. Rogers Limited Company published a catalogue of memorial designs including the overlife-sized statue of a pensive infantryman, leaning on his rifle, with his chin resting on his hand. According to the catalogue, Rogers was at that time the only bronze foundry in Canada that had successfully made large casts like this, and the figure as a cast from a model by a St. Boniface sculptor named Nicolas Pirroton.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields
the poppies blow
Between the crosses,
row on row,
That mark our place;
and in the sky
The larks, still bravely
singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid
the guns below.

We are the Dead.
Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn,
saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved,
and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel
with the foe:
To you from failing
hands we throw
The torch; be yours
to hold it high.
If ye break faith
with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

The Altona and District Cenotaph was constructed in 1995 in memory of casualties from the First and Second World Wars and dedicated on 29 July 1995. The Cenotaph was a project of the Altona-Gretna Optimist Club for Altona's Centennial in 1995. It was designed at Altona Memorials through consultation with several Veterans and the Club. 

Due to a major drainage construction project in 2021 in downtown Altona, the cenotaph had to be re-located from the corner of 2nd Street NE and 4th Avenue NE. Through funding from the Town of Altona and Veterans Affairs Canada, the cenotaph was moved to its new location outside of the Millennium Exhibition Center.
