"In 1945 the land was prepared and the following year trees, shrubs and grass were planted. Flowers were planted at the same time. Shortly thereafter, the Canadian Legion erected the Cenotaph, a memorial to the many men who died in both World Wars and the Korean War.

On both sides of the base you find engraved in stone "Korea 1950-1953"

On the monument is inscribed: "Erected in honor of the men of Vulcan and District who paid the supreme sacrifice in world war." Followed by names of soldiers.

Then you find on the front on the base the names of soldiers who died during the First World War.

"En 1945, le terrain a été préparé et l'année suivante, des arbres, des arbustes et de l'herbe ont été plantés. Des fleurs ont été plantées en même temps. Peu de temps après, la Légion canadienne a érigé le cénotaphe, un mémorial aux nombreux hommes qui sont morts pendant les deux guerres mondiales et la guerre de Corée.

De part et d'autre du socle vous trouvez gravé dans la pierre "Corée 1950-1953"

Sur le monument est inscrit : « Érigé en l'honneur des hommes de Vulcain et du District qui ont payé le sacrifice suprême pendant la guerre mondiale. Suivi des noms des soldats.

Ensuite vous retrouvez au recto sur le socle les noms des soldats morts pendant la première guerre mondiale.
