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.
The Wellington Cenotaph is composed of two stone wing walls with benches, each leading to a pillar. On top of both pillars are three wooden rifles arranged in a tripod configuration and topped by a First World War era British helmet.
It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 160 in 1930 and a dedication plaque was added in 1986. The cenotaph is dedicated to members of the Wellington area who served in the First and Second World Wars, Korean War and Afghanistan.
