Made of granite and located on the grounds of the Community Hall in Arcadia. The monument was unveiled on June 2, 1922, in memory of five young men from the area who died in the service in the First World War. The cannon is a part of the grounds set aside for the monument. It is at the rear just out of sight of the tree to the right of the monument. Every year, a memorial service is held at the site with the local school students in attendance and laying the wreaths. The students from grades 4 - 6 parade from the school.
