Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 86, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. Constructed in the 1930s, it originally commemorated the servicemen from Victoriaville who died during the First World War. It was later modified to honour the memory of the victims of the Second World War and the Korean War. The names of all those servicemen are inscribed on the monument. The Remembrance Day ceremonies are held there each year and several wreaths are laid for the occasion.
