This memorial was constructed in October 1925 in memory of those who died in the First and Second World Wars.

The two stone cairns, one on each side of the entrance to the Ancaster Township Hall, were unveiled October 17, 1925, originally with identical plaques. After the Second World War the plaque on the left was replaced with a plaque for those killed in that war. The metal arch, whose ends were supported by the cairns was removed in 1967 for safety reasons and returned at a later date.
