This memorial is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 108 in 1954.

The memorial was relocated to the entrance area of the Winchester District Memorial Hospital, following the reconstruction for the hospital in 2009. The Winchester District Memorial Hospital Second World War Plaque is located inside the hospital with the names of those from this area who died in the Second World War.  

In 2019, two slabs were added to the cenotaph in honour of Canada's participation in Afghanistan and peacekeeping operations. The new cenotaph was unveiled and re-dedicated on June 15, 2019.
