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.

This memorial is dedicated to nine men from Euphemia who died in the First and Second World Wars. It was donated to the community by William J. and Beulah Davies and the land donated by Albert Truesdale. The memorial was constructed in 1948 and restored in 1992. Each stone was cleaned, reset and waterproofed. Once the restoration was complete, it was rededicated.
