Beside the Hillsborough River Eco Centre, this memorial to the local war dead and veterans of the First and Second World Wars was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion. The memorial consists of a pair of grey granite stelia separated by a black granite plaque resting on three square grey granite pillars.
The memorial is accompanied by a World War I German howitzer, a
10.5-cm Feldhaubitze 98/09, (Serial Nr. 438). This gun was captured on September 27, 1918 by the British 11th (Northern) Division "Imperials", operating with the Canadian Expeditionary Force, SW of Epinoy, France. The FH 98/09 was originally allocated to Charlottetown, it is now located beside the cenotaph at Mount Stewart, PEI, missing its wheels. The Gunner's shield shows evidence of penetration.

Note the large hole in the shield to the left of the barrel. It appears to have been caused by something large and fast moving!
