Erected in 1925 by the town of Strathmore, this memorial was originally dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. An inscription for the local war dead of the Second World War was added later.

There was a German field gun behind it, one of thousands captured at the end of the war and hauled back to Canada.

A memorial plaque was struck at a cost of 255.00 dollars which contains the names of Ponoka and area people who gave their lives in World War I. It was originally placed on the outside wall of the Elks Memorial Hall in August 1928, where it remained for over thirty years. After that time it was removed and when the Cenotaph was completed and the grounds landscaped in 1961 this plaque was placed near the Panoka Cenotaph where it remains at this present time.

The Panoka and District Cenotaph was erected around 1960, in memory of our fallen comrades who served in World War I, World War II and Korea. A newly constructed Cairn shaped Cenotaph constructed of local field stone was unveiled in June of 1961, in honour of our fallen comrades who served in WWI, WWII and Korea. The total cost to Ponoka Branch 66 was 1156.50 dollars, which included landscaping. Volunteers of the branch picked and hauled the field stone. Events held at the Cenotaph include Drumhead Services and the annual Remembrance Wreath Service. For over thirty years upkeep and maintenance of the grounds was performed by legion members but in recent years the Town of Ponoka has taken over this task. The Legion Branch recently repaired and repainted the stonework at a cost of 900.00 dollars. The Canadian flag flies at the rear of the Cenotaph and is always kept in good repair.

Members of the Ponoka Legion celebrated Saturday, Oct. 3 2015 new improvements to their cenotaph that recognizes fallen Ponoka veterans. new rail, cement work and a ramp for members with wheelchairs.

The Village of Bentley does not have a monument, as such. The Legion bought land that was designated for a sports area. It then was turned over to the Village of Bentley. A car raffled off on December 10, 1947 (a man from Castor, Alberta won it - R.B. Lane), and the money from the project went into the Legion Memorial Fund. With this money, a commemorative memorial to our deceased veterans was built. It was in the form of a gateway to the sports grounds and was similar to that depicted in the above drawing. In the centre was a cairn on which was inscribed the roll of honour. At a later time, an addition was made to the curling rink, necessitating the removal of the cairn. The plaque was removed and put into the arena. The arch was mounted on the front of the arena. This is the way it now stands.
