The Morewood Cenotaph Committee honored their fallen on the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the cenotaph - July 6, 2021, by installing 21 mini-monuments - ten along each side - one for each of those who had given their lives, and one by itself at the back representing all who returned. Unable to locate a photograph of Alfred, the general list cap badge which was a standard badge worn by soldiers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War, is etched into his memorial.
Alfred stood 5 foot 8.5 inches, had dark brown hair and gray eyes and was a labourer before the war. He departed Halifax aboard the RMS Mauritania on 25 October 1916. He arrived in France 29 November 1916, joined the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles Battalion on 10 December 1916, and was subsequently posted to Canadian Corps for Agricultural work on 13 March 1917. Alfred rejoined his unit on 7 May 1918 and was reported killed in action on 31 August 1918.
The 20 pillars representing individual soldiers are in alphabetic order. The 21st pillar sits in the shadow of the cenotaph and between the two rows.
