This memorial is dedicated to the brave men and women from Montreal. This is the best known cenotaph in Montreal, there is a duplicate in London's Whitehall. The monument was unveiled on November 11, 1924, by the governor-general, Julian Hedworth George, Viscount Byng of Vimy. Until the monument was dedicated, Montreal used a portable war memorial made of plaster that was wheeled out whenever and wherever it was needed. After the Armistice on November 11, 1918, there was a proposal to turn Atwater Avenue between Sherbrooke Street and the Lachine Canal into a War Memorial Boulevard, lined with trees and bronze shields to the memory of Montreal regiments, battalions and batteries. The idea proved too costly, so in 1920 the Montreal Women's Club planted 840 trees along Sherbrooke Street as living memorials to Montreal's war dead. Each elm bore a name plate, but by 1934 most of the original trees had died.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Great War Tablet in Windsor Station was dedicated on April 28, 1922. 

To honour those who served and gave their lives during the Great War, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) erected a series of bronze memorial tablets in over twenty select locations along their railway system and offices in Canada, United States, England and China. The tablet depicts Britannia, the national personification of Britain, as a helmeted female warrior with a lion to her right and a shield at her feet, HMS Lion (Admiral Beatty's flagship during the Battle of Jutland) with airplanes above and a tank in front, Canadian Pacific Steamship RMS Empress of Russia (used during the war as an armed merchant cruiser and transport ship), Canadian troops, and a CPR locomotive in a nod to all those who travelled by train across Canada before heading overseas. The plaque was designed by Archibald Pearce, Chief Engineer's Department, Montreal, with its model and casting by the Bromsgrove Guild at Worcester, England.

Winged Victory was erected by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the memory of its employees who were killed during the First World War. It was unveiled by the Governor General Julian Byng, 1st Viscount Byng of Vimy on 28 April 1922.

The Canadian Pacific Railway commissioned three Winged Victory statues from Montreal sculptor Coeur de Lion MacCarthy to commemorate the 1,116 employees it lost in the First World War. All three statues were unveiled simultaneously on the same date. The statue depicts an angel carrying a deceased soldier to heaven at the moment of his death. The angel holds a laurel wreath, the symbol of victory, in her upraised hand. The other two identical memorials are in Manitoba and Vancouver. 

After the Second World War, the date 1939-1945 was added to the inscription.

George Hill's monument “To the Men of Westmount who gave their lives in the Great War” features a soldier wearing battle gear, rifle in his left hand, marching forward, full of purpose and intent. He glances over his right shoulder to see the figure of a comely, womanly winged angel pointing the way to a place where he can do glorious battle with the enemy. This Canadian soldier is on the side of the angels, the side chosen by Heaven itself.

Sir Arthur Currie, whom historians generally regard as Canada's finest soldier, and Canadian-born U.S. Admiral William Sowden Sims unveiled the memorial on November 11, 1922. Built for $40,000, the cenotaph, the work of sculptor G.W. Hill, features two figures that are 12 feet high - an angel protecting a soldier. It is located near a parapet wall engraved with the names of those from Westmount who died in the First and Second World Wars.

George William Hill was born in Shipton, Eastern Townships, in 1861. He learned to carve marble in his father’s company, after he graduated from college. Between 1889 and 1894, he left Quebec to study sculpting at the École nationale des beaux-arts and Académie Julian in Paris. When he returned to Montreal, he opened a studio and worked with architect Robert Findlay and brothers Edward and William S. Maxwell. Known for his public monuments and war memorials, he is now considered one of the most important Canadian sculptors of the early twentieth century.

Hill designed several monuments commemorating Canadians lost in the South African War, including the Strathcona and South African Soldiers' Memorial in Quebec and Boer War Soldiers Monument in Ontario. At the end of the First World War, Hill was awarded several contracts by towns and cities wishing to pay homage to citizens who had died on the battlefields. Between 1920 and 1930 he designed these monuments: Westmount Cenotaph, Magog Cenotaph, Argenteuil Cenotaph, Richmond Cenotaph, Sherbrooke War Memorial in Quebec; Pictou County War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldier's Monument, The Soldier and Nurses’ Memorial in Ontario; and the Soldier's Monument in Prince Edward Island.
