The Memorial Hall was constructed by Lewis Behrns and Company, a local brick and stone mason firm, in 1921. It is dedicated to the memory of the local veterans of the First World War. In March of 1919 the Abernethy District League decided to form a company to be called Abernethy and District Memorial Hall Company for the purpose of selling shares to build a hall in Abernethy. W.R. Motherwell and James Dick pushed the project and organized the building. The gravel hauling was donated by Les Coulthard. Mr. H.H. Turner, secretary and timekeeper of the construction, urged the completion of the project. The Abernethy League eventually became the Great War Veteran's Association in 1920. The hall contains two rooms and an auditorium suitable for banquets, meetings, etc. The building is maintained by the local village council.

Stanley Edgar Storey of Storey and Vab Edmond designed the Abernathy War Memorial Hall in 1921.

Mr. Wellington Behrns, a local stone mason, constructed this memorial, which was first used in 1927. The plaque was added in 1961. This memorial is located near the village of Abernethy Cemetery. The Decoration Day service at the cemetery was started by the Abernethy Branch in 1926, and has continued to the present, with the exception of 1942-1945. These services are held during the month of July. It was constructed in 1960, in memory of the veterans and civilians who lost their lives in defense of freedom during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The cenotaph is maintained and cared for by of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 26. On October 1916, the council of the Rural Municipality made plans to look after returned soldiers. H.T. Smith and H.H. Turner were a committee with authority to provide for their needs or to offer friendship. The villages of Abernethy and Balcarres, and the residents of Lolie, each had a committee of the Returned Soldiers' League. In May 1917, the Rural Committee suggested an amalgamation of all units thereby providing a better welcome home for the boys. These became two Leagues, and the Abernethy League eventually became the Great War Veteran's Association in 1920. Six years later the G.W.V.A. joined the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. In 1961, it became the Royal Canadian Legion. The Decoration Day service at the cemetery was started by the Abernethy Branch in 1926, and has continued to the present, with the exception of 1942-1945. Decoration Services are held during the month of July. The last service was held 1997. The future of the decoration service is now in doubt, because of the age of local veterans and declining membership due to death.

Following World War II, the returned service men of Pathlow and District met to form a Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. They obtained their charter on February 13, 1948. In May 1949, the Ladies’ Auxiliary was formed, obtaining their charter on May 14, 1949.  Circa 1960, the Pathlow Branch 344 purchased Pathlow Heights County School for their Legion building, moved it into Pathlow and turned the hall back to the community. A Cenotaph honouring local men killed in action was built nearby and dedicated in 1971 at an outdoor church service. In 1992, due to the decline of Legion membership, the Ladies’ Auxiliary turned in their charter and joined the Legion Branch as Associate members. November 11th has always been the focal point of Branch activities. Services alternated between Pathlow and St. Brieux Villages, until accommodation was no longer available in Pathlow. They now hold services in St. Brieux, which are always well supported. The Branch attends Remembrance Day services at Pleasantdale and St. Brieux schools.

Big River Branch 136 was granted its charter on April 23, 1930, with 15 active members. On August 3rd, 1951, the Branch 136 Ladies’ Auxiliary was granted its charter with 15 active members. Every year since 1951, a November 11th ‘Remembrance Day’ service has been held at the Legion hall on Main Street as well as at the schools. In 1953, a cenotaph and flagpole were constructed in front of the hall to commemorate the Branch members’ dedication to Remembrance, veterans, the Branch, and the Royal Canadian Legion and its objectives.

The Paddockwood Cenotaph was erected by the Paddockwood Royal Canadian Legion Branch 31. There are 375 names on the Cenotaph in Dorothy School in the Forest Gate area.

Arborfield cenotaph consists of a shaft on a platform. It was built to honor the sol­diers who gave their lives in bat­tle. The Dutch Canadian Friendship tulip garden is planted nearby.

The Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden was erected in 2015 in partnership with Arborfield Legion Branch 203 and Communities in Bloom (CIB). Volunteers planted an interlaced pattern of red and white tulip bulbs in the garden beds surrounding the Memorial. The blooms will offer a visual reminder next spring of the link between the two countries.

Arborfield was one of the 140 communities selected from the more than 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council. Each of the 140 new 70th Anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens across the country will consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs (350 of each colour) donated by Vesey’s Bulbs in Prince Edward Island.

Prince Albert was one of the 140 communities selected from the more than 400 applications received by the Canadian Garden Council. The garden was erected by Bancroft  Horticultural Society. Each of the 140 new 70th Anniversary Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Gardens across the country will consist of 700 red and white tulip bulbs (350 of each colour) donated by Vesey’s Bulbs in Prince Edward Island.

The Garden was planted in fall 2015. Tulip bulbs generally bloom between the end of April and the beginning of June depending on the type of tulip and where it’s planted.

The memorial is dedicated as a living monument in recognition of the 70th Anniversary of the original Dutch-Canadian Friendship Tulip Garden planted in Ottawa at the end of World War II in 1945. The memorial is in appreciation of the safe haven that members of Holland’s exiled royal family received during World War II, and in recognition of the role Canadian troops played in the liberation of the Netherlands.
