Notice:

The National Inventory of Canadian Military Memorials is a public, crowd-sourced registry that helps Canadians learn about memorials in their communities. Inclusion in the Inventory does not imply VAC ownership or authority. Responsibility for the care, management, and any changes to a memorial rests with its owning or governing organization.

After the demolition of the St. Helens United Church in 1978, a bell with the names of men who had fought and died in the Great War was placed beside the West Wawanosh Soldiers’ Monument.
