The Craigmyle School was built in 1919 as a two room schoolhouse. In 1927 it was doubled in size to four rooms and, at the same time this stone cairn was erected by the village, bearing a bronze plaque In Honour Of Our Fallen Comrades. Later, after World War II, another plaque was mounted under the first In Grateful Memory Of Those Who Gave Their Lives In World War II.
The little village of Craigmyle, a farm service community, is on Range Road 165 about a mile north of Highway 9, a little over 50 km. east and north of Drumheller, AB.
