The Coronation Park property, bounded by St. Mary’s Road, Eugenie Street, and Tache Avenue, was still under development when it was officially opened on Coronation Day, 12 May 1937. The event was planned to coincide with the coronation of King George VI, with local festivities initiated within hours of the crowning ceremony. Beautification of the Coronation Park grounds continued through the following year, with the committee officially turning control of the park over to St. Boniface Parks Board on 12 December 1938.

In September 1944, the Coronation Park Committee was given approval to proceed with the development of a war memorial at the site. Plans were drawn up for a cenotaph to commemorate the fallen soldiers of the First World War and Second World War, with work upon this site initiated by spring of 1946. The Coronation Park cenotaph was officially unveiled and dedicated on 6 July 1947 by Memorial Committee John Gault and dedicated by the General of the St. Boniface Diocese. The unveiling ceremony was attended by local dignitaries, citizens, and veterans representing the Canadian Legion branches of French veterans, Belgian veterans, and Norwood veterans. Commemoration for the Korean War was added later. A monument adjacent to the cenotaph was erected by the Norwood-St. Boniface Legion Branch No. 43.

In 1963, Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 155 made plans to build a cenotaph with financial help of the Ladies Auxiliary. First World War Veteran P.D. McMunn donated the red flint granite from a quarry in McMunn, Manitoba that was started by his father. The cenotaph was completed in early October of 1964 by stone mason Edward Polsarrd of Winnipeg and features carefully cut and placed stones that are inset with white mortar.

It was dedicated on November 11, 1964, by Winnipeg Legion chaplain Ven. Archdeacon George E. Phillips, to honour the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The cenotaph was unveiled by Reverend W.G. Martin. The stone work was repointed in 2021.

In 1920 the Canadian William A. Rogers Limited Company published a catalogue of memorial designs including the overlife-sized statue of a pensive infantryman, leaning on his rifle, with his chin resting on his hand. According to the catalogue, Rogers was at that time the only bronze foundry in Canada that had successfully made large casts like this, and the figure as a cast from a model by a St. Boniface sculptor named Nicolas Pirroton.
