There are two memorials at this Legion. One is a cenotaph and the other is a plaque.
The cenotaph, that stands in front of the Legion Hall, was built in 1923 by the I.O.D.E. When the new addition was started in 1957, the cenotaph, unable to be moved, was taken apart piece by piece, stored and then rebuilt, exactly as it was before, in its present location.
No date was found for the plaque by the flagpole. The plaque has poppies planted in front of it.
