This Multi-War Memorial is located in Guelph, Ontario near the Guelph Central Station. It was placed in 1925 by the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire. The memorial mentions World War I (being placed in 1925 means it was originally just a World War I memorial), World War II, Korea and Peackeeping Missions.
The monument features the Latin phrase "Te Deum laudamus" which means "God, We Praise You". There is a small plaque on the bottom which has the monuments text in French language. The memorial itself is the classic Cross of Sacrifice monument with a sword in a cross.
