The memorial is a six-foot tall granite obelisk that was likely just a World War I memorial with crossed rifles carved near the top, a list of 15 honored dead and "1914" & "1918" on each side of an olive branch near the bottom.
It appears that 3 names with "1939 - 1945" were added at later date to the east side.
The Manitoba Historical Society lists the Cemetery and this War Memorial. (visit link)
