"In 1919 the school districts of Bertha and Riverbank united to build a church as a memorial to four men, Jack Fisher, Harry Hardwick, Harry Martin and Cecil Minary who gave their lives in World War l (1914 - 1918). The church served as a place for worship and recreation until it closed in 1966. In 1994 the people of Berbank District, past and present, dedicate this cairn to all the men and women who have served their country with distinction and also to our pioneers."

An unusual “homemade” monument was put up in Treesbank even as the war still raged, dedicated to the men “who have fought, are fighting and will fight for King and Country, for freedom and for civilization”(Manitoba Free Press, March 10, 1917). Completed eighteen months before the Armistice, the painted wooden “Treesbank War Shrine” (since replaced by a stone cairn) was about three metres in height, with painted inscriptions that suffered badly from weathering despite the shingled overhang protecting them. A Union Jack once fluttered from the flagpole at its peak.

Body Content

The monument at Forrest is a popular gravemarker type that was, oddly, used for only a handful of war memorials – the simple and evocative column. This example gains additional dignity through its elevation on a broad stepped base. The use of an urn shape at the apex of the column was also a common design feature for this type of memorial. Texts are inscribed on the column shaft, and include nine names from the First World War and two from the Second World War.

Erected by the Forrest Community, this memorial is dedicated to the memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice and served during the First and Second World Wars.
