The Reston War Memorial was unveiled by Sir James Aikens, Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba, on June 30, 1922. It is cast of Italian marble and topped by the figure of a Canadian soldier. The soldier’s gaze is slightly to the left. He is serious and calm, but intent on things and thoughts far away. He stands slightly at ease, with hands clasped over the barrel of his rifle. The fine carving exercised for his uniform, cap and accoutrements like the canteen are all expertly done. The cost was $3,600.
In 1956, bronze plaques were added to the monument. Inscribed in the bronze on one side are the names of 23 First Great War victims and on the other side the names of 17 from the Second World War.
The flag staff was donated by the Women's Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion Elizabeth Branch. It was made by Vulcan Iron Works Supply from second hand piping and sits in a cement base with the date of erection and donor name on the bronze plaque.
