On the North Side of the second tier is a plaque honoring those who gave their lives during the Korean War.
Korea
1950 - 1953
The plaque was placed with honor and respect by the Rossland Royal Canadian Legion #14.
The Rossland cenotaph was constructed in memory of WWI, WWII and Korea war veterans. The cenotaph was paid for by Victory Bond salesmen and was first placed around 1921 and since that time the cenotaph has moved three times.
Hopefully its fourth and final move is now on display next to the Rossland Public Library. The Rossland Royal Canadian Legion #14 is the protectors of the memories and the cenotaph.
The Boer War plaque was added in 2000 by the Legion.
