There is a cenotaph in the centre of Eldorado Street, just west of Pine Avenue, beside Trail's Knox United Church. Eldorado becomes a dead end street here, allowing one to drive around the island or park at the end of the street.

The Trail Cenotaph was constructed in 1951 and this statue of a World War I foot soldier was mounted to the east side of the cenotaph in 2009. It is a full sized, or slightly larger than life sized, bronze sculpture complete with helmet and rifle. The soldier is kneeling, likely at the grave of a comrade or at a memorial such as the one behind him.
The soldier is mounted on a square plinth made of granite bricks and topped with a painted concrete cap. On the front, east, side of the plinth is a bronze plaque which reads:
