The Brinston and Stacey Memorial was first erected at United Church on Sound Island, Placentia Bay. It was dedicated to Private Angus Brinston and Private Alfred Stacey, two local war dead of the First World War. In the mid 1950s, the memorial was relocated to Memorial United Church in Garden Cove.

The hardwood top was machined from laminated mahogany and after several decades had to be removed. In 2018, the memorial was refurbished through community fundraising, donated labour and funding from Veterans Affairs Canada.
