Gesgapegiag's war memorial is in the old Gesgapegiag cemetery. The two granite stones honour Mi'kmaq members of the Gesgapegiag First Nation on the south shore of the Gaspésie, and the greater district of Gespe'gewa'gi who entered military service in the Boer War, World War I, World War II, and Korea and in particular those who died in service.  

Sergeant Frank Narcisse Jérome of Quebec, one of Canada’s most heroic soldiers of the First World War, was a member of the Gesgapegiag First Nation. He was one of only 39 Canadians to receive the Military Medal three times during the First World War. Despite being wounded in action, he survived the conflict to return home in 1919.

In memory of soldiers who died in service and on the field of honour during the Korean War and First and Second World Wars. A section of the memorial park was developed to pay homage to men and women who gave their lives in time of war to preserve our freedoms. A monument was erected in 1964 by War Veterans (Canadian Legion), inscribed with the names of soldiers who died during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The park also has flower beds and two guns built here in Canada that saw service during the Second World War.

Different interpretation panels decorate the walls and trails of this Second World War historic site. If Britain had fallen, an important part of the British fleet would have taken refuge in this very deep water port. Fort Péninsule was built with that in mind.

The "Monument des Braves" is dedicated to soldiers who died in the First and Second World Wars. In 1945, the women of the Cercle des Fermières decided to have a monument erected in memory of their fallen husbands, brothers or sons. In 1947, the memorial was constructed by two members of the parish, Richard Mitchell and Régis Maloney, with the help of other volunteers. In 1959, the parish priest, Father Racek, decided to complete the structure by adding an angel carrying a sword to the top. He also had plaques bearing the names of most of the young men of the parish who died in the wars of 1914 and 1939 installed on three sides. Some names are missing, because the parents of some of the fallen were not able to pay the $10 fee that was required. The official inauguration and blessing of the monument was held in 1960, as part of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the parish. A number of dignitaries were invited to the ceremony, along with veterans’ representatives and the rector of the Anglican church of La Malbaie, Reverend Thomas. In 2001, the angel at the top of the monument had to be removed because of severe damage. In 2002, with the help of volunteers, a large cross taken from the church tower was installed to replace the angel. However, in 2010, the cross was bent in a violent storm and it too had to be removed.

This cenotaph was erected in memory of our glorious war dead. It was unveiled on November 11th, 1966, in front of the Canadian Legion building, on lot 222, boulevard Perron West, a property that belongs today to Mr. Fabrice Bourques, evaluator. In 1968, when the building became property of the chief of police, Mr. Brisson, the monument was moved in front of the old city hall. In 1975, the old convent became the new city hall and the monument was moved again. Some have called it the travelling monument! Its last move has been to its present location in Souvenir Park, in 1989. Each year, on November 11th, a Remembrance Day ceremony is held in front of the monument, and many wreaths are laid.
