This memorial to the veterans and war dead of the First World War from Sandwich was erected by the Honourable James Baby Chapter of the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire (I.O.D.E.) after the First World War. It was refurbished by the Windsor Veterans Memorial Services Committee in 1980 and, again, in 1993 by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 143 and the City of Windsor. The memorial was rededicated on 11 November 1993.

[north side/côté nord]
"Do you wonder why we're here to-day and why we stand so still.
Do you wonder why we gather here and why we always will.
We're here to-day to honour those who gave their live, their all.
We're here to-day to honour those who've answered God's last call.
They've done their part. They paid the price so you and I are free.
Let's pray to God that that's the way it will always be."
Dedicated by Branch 143 Royal Canadian Legion
November 11, 1993
