This memorial was erected in 1938. Fort Rolland was built by François LeNoir (dit Rolland) around 1670. LeNoir had arrived in Quebec City in August 1665 as a soldier in the Carignan- Salière Regiment but upon his discharge from the Army, remained in Quebec and launched into the fur trade. In 1669 he requested a parcel of land in the area now known as Lachine and built a trading post protected by a stockade and a small garrison of soldiers. This post also served to protect the nearby inhabitants and became known as Fort Rolland. On 5 August 1689, Fort Rolland was attacked by the Iroquois; the structure and settlement were destroyed and the fort eventually abandoned.

This memorial, erected in 1919, was dedicated to the memory of the citizens of Notre-Dame-de-Grace who fought during the First World War. It was sculpted by David Edstrom and designed by the architect Lucien Keroack

A bas-relief is affixed to the memorial representing troops marching past a cemetery, their bayonets in the air. Below, a sheaf of maple and oak leaves with two protruding crossed bayonets cover the top of a stele-shaped stone. On the left side, a Renommée holds laurel crowns. 

Initially, the monument paid tribute to soldiers who died during the First World War, but after the Second World War and the Korean War, inscriptions commemorating these events were added.

Tagged with graffiti in July 2010 and in September 2011, the graffiti was erased, though a faint outline remains.

The original Roll of Honour was erected by residents of what was once called the Dixie district, honouring 147 soldiers from the district who served in the First World War. Twenty-two were killed in action.

By 2016, the bronze plaque had been stolen six times. The material used for replacement plaques has varied, some were made of bronze and some of aluminum. The Roll of Honour is now replaced with a composite resin plaque that is fashioned to look like bronze.

This cenotaph, a bronze statue with stelæ, is dedicated to the citizens of the City of Lachine who gave their lives during the First and Second World Wars, and the Korean War.

This monument, sculpted by Lucien Sarra-Bournet and erected in 1925 by the City of Lachine, is dedicated to the citizens of Lachine who died during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was originally unveiled in St. Louis Park by Douglas Haig on July 27, 1925, the same day that he dedicated the Outremont memorial and visited three other memorials on Montreal Island. The Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) raised so much of the money for the Lachine sculpture, and the granite base was the gift of a businessman from Iberville, Georges Tremblay. The memorial was moved to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 85/90 (3015 Henri-Dunant Street) in 1991 and later moved to its present location in Stoney Point Park.

This window was erected by St. Columba's Anglican Church parishioners and dedicated in 1953 to Flight Lieutenant Richard Shaw Wood who was killed on March 17, 1918, in the First World War. The window was designed by Charles William Kelsey and depicts Christ's crucifixion on the tree of life.

Charles William Kelsey was born in England and emigrated to Montreal in 1922. His stained glass designs can be found in England, Australia, the United States and in over 68 churches in Canada. Charles was responsible for all steps in his windows design and painting. He worked out of a room in his home or a studio set apart from the house and his painted work was fired at Acme Glass. Since Canada did not manufacture stained glass until April 1976, during his career all the stained glass was imported. 

In September 2013, St. Columba's Anglican Church sold its property at Hingston and Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Avenues to a private corporation. The owner removed the 10 stained-glass windows from the church in December 2015. Two of the old stained glass windows are at the Canadian Centre for the Great War.
