Cremona Legion Cairn - Cremona, Alberta - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

The land for this Legion was donated by A.F.(Bob) Simpson in 1947. Shortly thereafter the building was constructed. The building is relatively small but well suited to this small community. The cairn is within walking distance of most every resident of this small town. It is well located relative to the post office, curling ring and community centre.

The cairn is made of local river rock demonstrating the geology that is found in the nearby Rocky Mountains with these cobble sized stones likely gathered from nearby streams and fields.

The text on the plaque states:
"

and women of the Canadian
