This memorial honours all those who served in the Navy, Army, Air Force and Merchant Marine during the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War and Peacekeeping. It is placed between the Moose Creek Medical Centre and the Fire Hall. Construction began on August 10, 1995 and it was dedicated on October 28, 1995. As it was the fiftieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War, it was felt to be the right time for such a project.

This memorial is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 108 in 1954.
The memorial was relocated to the entrance area of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, following the reconstruction for the hospital in 2009. The Winchester District Memorial Hospital Second World War Plaque is located inside the hospital with the names of those from this area who died in the Second World War.
In 2019, two slabs were added to the cenotaph in honour of Canada's participation in Afghanistan and peacekeeping operations. The new cenotaph was unveiled and re-dedicated on June 15, 2019.

The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. A portrait of Clifford Charles Hummell is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 8 ½ inches, and had auburn hair and brown eyes.
Clifford sailed from Halifax aboard the RMS Empress of Britain on 18 June 1916. He joined the 46th Battalion on 11 August 1916, was wounded by a gas attack on 18 August 1918, recorded seriously ill on 23 August, and died on 24 August.
The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.

Here, on the farm of John Crysler, was fought one of the decisive battles
of the War of 1812. On 11 November 1813 Lieutenant-Colonel
Joseph Morrison, with 800 British and Canadian regulars, militia, and
Indians, engaged an American force of 4,000 under Brigadier-General
John Boyd. The open terrain was suited to the training of well-drilled
British regulars who, after two hours of heavy fighting, routed the
enemy. This victory ended a major American thrust at Montreal.
Ici fut livrée l'une des batailles décisives de la guerre de 1812. Le
lieutenant-colonel Joseph Morrison, à la tête de 800 hommes (réguliers
britanniques et canadiens, miliciens et Indiens) livrait combat, le 11
novembre 1813, aux 4 000 hommes du brigadier-général américain
John Boyd. Les réguliers britanniques, bien exercés au combat en rase
campagne, mirent les Américains en fuite après deux heures de rude
bataille. Cette victoire brisa la poussée importante de l'ennemi vers
Montréal.

The cenotaph in Legion Memorial Park, erected in 1923 by the citizens of Cornwall and suburbs, was originally dedicated to those lost in the Great War. It was designed by Emanuel Hahn, constructed in 1923 and unveiled June 5, 1925 by Baron Byng of Vimy.
Emanuel Hahn's statue design represents the sorrows caused by war. The bronze soldier atop the cenotaph looks down in sadness at the ground below him, as if he might find there, his fallen comrades, if not for the tragedy of war. The statue depicts a young, grieving Canadian soldier in First World War army uniform. With uncovered head, he is standing at a battlefield grave – a simple cross with poppies at the base – the final resting place of a comrade killed in action. His left hand rests on the cross, while his right hand holds a reversed rifle.
After the Second World War, the Royal Canadian Legion debated constructing another memorial, but decided they already had a "very fine Memorial for our Comrades who fell in the First Great War". They decided instead, to build a Community Centre for this honour.
The cenotaph was later modified to include the Second World War and Korean War, as well as a plaque recognizing contributions made in peacekeeping and the Afghanistan theatre of operations. Presently it is used on November 11 for Remembrance Day ceremonies and also for the Battle of the Atlantic ceremonies.
Emanuel Hahn moved to Toronto at the age of seven with his family of artists and musicians from Germany, in 1888. He studied commercial design and model-making at Toronto Technical School and Ontario College of Art and Industrial Design. At 25 years old Hahn began a nearly lifelong contract with Thomson Monument Company of Toronto. Two years later, he also started work as a studio assistant to sculptor Walter Seymour Allward. Part of his duties included assisting on Allward’s significant works such as the South African War Memorial in Toronto.
In 1912 Hahn began an association with the Thomson Monument Company of Toronto. It was there, along with several assistants, he made the many war memorials that are found across Canada: Fernie, British Columbia; Killarney and Russell, Manitoba; Alvinston, Bolton, Cornwall, Hanover, Lindsay, Malvern, Milton, Petrolia and Port Dalhousie, Ontario; Gaspe, Quebec; Moncton, New Brunswick; Springhill and Westville Nova Scotia; Summerside, Prince Edward Island.
Hahn is probably most famous as the designer of the Bluenose on the back of the Canadian dime and the Caribou on the back of the Canadian quarter. He was a victim of anti-German sentiment in the years following the Great War, when his design for the Winnipeg Cenotaph was rejected in 1925.
