The Acadia University First World War Memorial service was held in connection with the June 1928 Closing Exercises of Acadia University. Constructed by Acadia President Dr. F.W. Patterson, at a cost of $100,000, it was erected directly in front of the Acadia War Memorial Gymnasium,
The service was attended by hundreds of people, including many ex-service men and members of the Kings Branch of the Canadian Legion attended in a body. Following the singing of the hymn, "O, God Our Help in Ages Past," President Patterson offered a prayer and the unveiling followed.
