The Service Personnel Monument was dedicated on June 28, 1959, by the Windsor Chapter of the Remembrance Association Silver Cross Women of Canada and is dedicated to Windsor and Essex County war dead from the two World Wars and Korean War. More than 100 mothers and wives of the war dead attended the dedication. The nine foot monument was unveiled by Lieutenant Colonel F. K. Jasperson, DSO, ED, QC, the commanding officer of the Essex Scottish Regiment of Windsor during the Dieppe Raid. Three Army padres who took part in the commemoration ceremonies in Dieppe, France, during the Second World War officiated the service.
The base of the monument was replaced in 1962 by the Air Force Club in Windsor due to deterioration. The memorial also had to be refaced due to vandalism. This was financed by the Windsor Veterans Memorial Service Committee. The monument was re-dedicated in 1997.
