Crandall Cenotaph

The Crandall cenotaph was erected shortly after the end of the First World War by the Crandall Women's Patriotic Society. The exact date is unknown. For many years, Remembrance Day services were held at the Crandall Cenotaph. Now, however, as the numbers grow much smaller, Remembrance Day services are only held in Miniota. A small ceremony was held at the Crandall Cenotaph July 1, 2000 as a part of Crandall's 2000 Reunion. At that service a presentation was made to the community by Mr. Stuart Johnson who puts in many hours at the Brandon Airforce Museum in Brandon, Manitoba. This presentation consisted of a display board of pictures of local airmen lost during the war, along with a brief history of each, where they served and in what capacity, where they were killed and where they were buried.
