On May 14, 1991, sod for the Lewisville Humphrey War Memorial was officially turned by Second World War Veteran Ken Mellish using an army trenching tool rather than an ordinary shovel. The site of the memorial is where many of the Veterans being honoured attended the former Pleasant Street School. It was the chairman of the Lewisville-Humphrey War Memorial Committee, Laurie LeBlanc's idea that the inscription of Veterans names would be on the front of the memorial and information about the Pleasant Street School on the back.
Local businesses and residents donated money for the memorial and flag pole which honours 27 young men from the area that were killed during their service in the First and Second World Wars. The memorial was unveiled on October 20, 1991.
