In 2004, the Airdrie Legion placed this memorial to honour their veterans and is near the Field of Honor within the Airdrie Cemetery. It stands approximately 7' and there is a cross mounted on top. There is a dedication, Legion Crest and names of sponsors listed on the lower part of the memorial. We visited the cemetery and discovered this memorial near the entrance.
