This memorial was erected by William Hebert, Ronald Delaney, local general contractors assisted by Randy Beckwith. Unveiled on September 2, 1947, this memorial was dedicated to the seven local men killed in action in World War II and to those who gave their lives in World War I.

The monument is a 147 foot long grey granite stone and mortar memorial wall divided at the centre by two eight foot stone entry pillars, which are four feet square on either side of a ten foot driveway spanned by an archway. The wall is thirty inches high and thirty inches wide. The arch includes, from one end to the other, the words "MEMORIAL PARK" in red. At the time it was built, it was the second longest memorial wall in New Brunswick.

Body Content

This field gun, a 5.5-inch howitzer, was of the type used by The Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery during its campaigns in Italy and North-West Europe. This memorial is dedicated to the artillery regiments of Canada.

5.5 inch Guns/Howitzers: The medium gun adopted by the British Armies in the Second World War, was originally ordered in 1937 as a 5 inch gun/howitzer, to fire a 78 pound shell to 18,000 yards. Early in 1939 it was altered to 5.5 inch, with a 100 pound projectile, to increase shell effect. In 1943 a lighter shell weighing 82 pounds was introduced. The gun was a multi-range, breach-loading weapon. With charge four, it fired high explosive projectiles along a relatively flat trajectory at a muzzle velocity of approximately 1,675 feet per second. The weight in action of the Mark III gun was 12,850 pounds. The carriage, which could also mount the 4.5 inch gun, was of split-trail type, furnishing a four point support for stability and permitting a 30 degree traverse without disturbing the trail legs. Maximum range of the 5.5 gun was 16,000 yards with the 100.16 projectile, and 18,200 yards with the 82.16 projectile. The gun was issued to Canadian AGRA in 1942-1943 in Petsworth, England; first rounds were fired at Larkhill. The guns were used by Canadian Medium Regiments both in France and Italy.

On May 14, 1991, sod for the Lewisville Humphrey War Memorial was officially turned by Second World War Veteran Ken Mellish using an army trenching tool rather than an ordinary shovel. The site of the memorial is where many of the Veterans being honoured attended the former Pleasant Street School. It was the chairman of the Lewisville-Humphrey War Memorial Committee, Laurie LeBlanc's idea that the inscription of Veterans names would be on the front of the memorial and information about the Pleasant Street School on the back.

Local businesses and residents donated money for the memorial and flag pole which honours 27 young men from the area that were killed during their service in the First and Second World Wars. The memorial was unveiled on October 20, 1991.
