The Winkler and District Cenotaph was constructed in 1999 in memory of the Men of Winkler and District who gave their lives for our Country in the First and Second World Wars.

On April 8, 1920, H. St. Clair Richmond of Mather, Manitoba wrote a letter to the editor of the Southern Manitoba Review, Cartwright, stating a need to honour those who died in the Great War. A committee was formed on May 13 to consider the matter of having a monument erected, and soon after, funds were raised, a site was chosen, and the Honour Roll completed.

On Monday, June 20, 1921, people for miles around gathered at the newly erected Cenotaph in Cartwright to pay their solemn respects to the men who sacrificed their lives in the defence of the Empire. Major Hanson, followed by the Killarney band, led the Great War Veterans and the school children throughout the Municipality, and marched to the Cenotaph where the children laid floral tributes at the base of the monument. Following a program of patriotic songs, scriptures and prayers, the Honourable T.C. Norris, Premier of Manitoba, gave an interesting, concise, patriotic address. He then unveiled the flag-covered 12 foot monument that is located at the intersections of Broadway and Curwen and is made of Stanstead granite.

On March 31, 1931 a charter was presented to the newly formed Canadian Legion Branch #86 of Cartwright-Mather. Because members were from surrounding towns and districts, many more names have been inscribed on the monument. To date, there are a total of 205 names – twenty-one names are on the 1914 – 1918 Honour Roll and fifteen names are on the 1939 – 1945 Honour Rolls. In later years, a flower bed was planted around the cenotaph.

In 2006, the Government of Canada, being committed to preserving the memory of the nation’s war dead and Veterans through proper care and conservation of cenotaphs and monuments, developed the Cenotaph/Monument Restoration Program. In partnership with community groups and local organizations, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) wanted to ensure that cenotaphs and monuments honouring our Veterans, war dead and significant military events would be conserved to the highest standard of care and dignity.

With assistance from the restoration program, the Cartwright-Mather Legion Branch #86 embarked on a project to replace the perimeter of the cenotaph and to add additional granite for the inscription of the names of Veterans from our communities. Having successfully raised the 50% of the monies thanks to donors across Canada, the restoration was completed in November of 2007. A re-dedication ceremony was held on June 22, 2008 in conjunction with the annual Memorial Day service. The R.C.M.P., the Canadian Armed Forces Air Command Band, The Corps of the Imperial Frontiersmen and Armed Forces members from 2^nd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry(2 PPCLI) Shilo were in attendance.

The cenotaph was unveiled on 1 October 1921 by the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba, Sir James Aikens. It is mounted on two rough-edged limestone steps, with the base curved to form a transition to the plinth. Originally dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War, it was expanded to incorporate a dedication to the local losses of the Second World War.

One of the first boys from Rathwell to volunteer and also the first to fall in the First World War was C. E. Ford. The girls of the district formed the Girls' Khaki Club and sent parcels overseas to all the Rathwell boys every Christmas and Easter. The club held teas, pancake suppers, and with the help of the community gathered scrap iron which was loaded in boxcars and shipped to Winnipeg to be sold. This money raised from the sale of scrap iron was used to erect the cenotaph. After the First World War was over and the boys returned from overseas, the Girls' Khaki Club had a banquet for them and presented them each with tie pins.
