This Legion has a large World War I Cenotaph in the front. Plaques have since been added to the monument, dedicated to veterans of the Second World War and to veterans of the Korean War.
There is also this World War II veterans memorial plaque mounted on the facade of the building, apart from the other memorials. It is a black granite slab bearing the names of all the soldiers of the Creston area who did not return from World War II. It is mounted to the rear and to the right of the cenotaph.
As well, there are two plaques mounted on the building itself dedicated to past presidents and honored members.
