Erected by the Princess Royal Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead. The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire in Killam was formed in 1921. The first project of the group was to erect a memorial to honour the fallen soldiers of the First World War. It was built and dedicated that same year at the end of main street in Killam, containing sixteen names. Four more names were added at the end of the Second World War. The memorial was moved in 1962 to the present location by George Smolki, who moved it stone by stone.
