The face of the cenotaph highlights the dedication date, that we must always remember the sacrifice of our veterans, and the words "We Stand on Guard for Thee". Side two has the words from the poem "Flanders Fields." Side three has select words from the poem "For the Fallen." Side four's inscription honours the sacrifice of venteran's families. Around the top, Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Merchant Navy, Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and Allied Forces is inscribed.

There are five memorial boulders in the park. Boulder one provides a description of the sacred soil and water placed where Vigil Sentrys stand, boulder two and three are the French and English text of the citations from Nova Scotia Victoria Cross recipients action, while boulders four and five honour the Merchant Navy and Canadian peacekeeping.

Surrounding the cenotaph pad there are over 100 personal memorial messages inscribed on granite plaques.

The cenotaph is 5.5 meter tall and was installed in 2006 on Hammonds Plains Road.

In 2010 the Greater Hammonds Plains and Lucasville community held its first local Remembrance Day Ceremony on the Phil Eishenauer baseball field; 100 people attended. In 2011 200 people showed up to this local service, still standing around a makeshift memorial. In 2012 400 people attended and in 2013 1,000. In 2014 the community moved this service to the Uplands Park baseball field with 2,000 people attending. The Greater Hammonds Plains and Lucasville Memorial Committee was formed to address the need for a permanent cenotaph. Local residents, Pam Lovelace, LCdr Todd Brayman, Maj Jason Samson, Rev Randy Townsend, and Andy and Anita Pearce took the lead. The crowd grew to 3,000 people in 2015, all anticipating what would come of this community initiative. On 2 July 2016 the Greater Hammonds Plains and Lucasville Cenotaph was dedicated with over 4,000 people in attendance and a three Sea King helicopter flypast. 

There are many unique features to this memorial including soil having been repatriated from Vimy, Juno, RAF Stn Perranporth, Kapyong, Camp Julian, and water from the Atlantic. All represent points of great Canadian sacrifice. At the heart of the cenotaph is a medicine pouch, place by the Acadia First Nations. 

Notable language diversity was a focus as well with "Lest we Forget" being displayed in Mi'kmaq, French, and English.

This memorial is dedicated to the remembrance of those Korean War Veterans who died during the Korean War. It is a gazebo, designed with a blue, Korean pagoda roof. It was created by the local Korean community and the Korean War Veterans. The grand opening was held in July 27, 2006. Dignitaries representing the Province of Nova Scotia, the Mayor of the Halifax Regional Municipality, the Ambassador of South Korea, and officers representing the Canadian military. The Stadacona Band was in attendance, dancers from the South Korean community performed, watched by hundreds of spectators.

The gazebo is within a dedicated three-acre park and garden designed by a recognized landscape architect for the Halifax Regional Municipality and consists of various unique areas such as the Walk of Peace, which consists of individually hand-made stones by school students and citizens, including one veteran. The Circle of Life, created by a local artisan, was made by various citizens who assisted in the creation of the circle. Within the garden there is also a pergola, a Tai Chi garden, a 200 foot long rhododendron garden, contributed and planted by the Rhododendron Society, a rose garden, and a children's playground.

The Korean Community fundraised throughout Canada, the USA, and South Korea, collecting approximately $90,000. These funds were used to pay for the pagoda, as well as the furniture, plants, gardens, an engraved "donor" stone that lists those who made major contributions to the memorial. Individual trees were donated by members of the Korean community, the local high school, and individual veterans or family members.

The "official" Korea War Memorial stone is located next to the pagoda within a garden that is surrounded with the "Rose of Sharon" - the national flower of Korea, and other shrubbery with the flags of Canada and South Korea standing inside the garden.

Each year, a Remembrance Day Ceremony is held at the Memorial, with a large attendance of approximately 600 people.

The Bedford Cenotaph was constructed in 1926 initially in memory of those who died in the First World War (1914-1918). This memorial was erected by the Bedford Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters (I.O.D.E.). Below is a history of the Cenotaph: In 1926, the first cenotaph was erected on a plot of land deeded to the I.O.D.E. by the G.N.R. Initially, there was one bronze plaque listing men who died in the First World War (1914-1918). In 1928, through the efforts of Mr. Andrew Cobb, a lion, modeled by Mrs. Dorothy Dick and cast in bronze by Hillis & Sons, was unveiled August 5. In 1931, a second tablet was placed on the reverse side with the names of the men listed who served (1914-1918). In 1958, a third tablet was placed on the cenotaph listing names of Veterans lost in action in the Second World War (1939-1945). In 1989 the cenotaph was relocated at the Fish Hatchery and the lion was properly placed looking toward Bedford Basin. In 1991 a forth tablet was placed listing the years of Korean conflict (1950-1953). The area is maintained and beautified by the Town of Bedford Horticultural Society and the branch - a most pleasant spot to spend a restful period.
