The First World War cenotaph was unveiled on 5 September 1938 next to the train station on Roseberry Street. It was unveiled by Venerable Archdeacon Scott surrounded by Veterans of the Canadian Expeditionary Force who he had been chaplain with during the war. Erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19, it honours those from Campbellton and Restigouche who gave their lives in the Great War. Constructed by Sherrard Granite Works, Moncton, it was made possible through combined efforts of the Women's Auxiliary of the Legion and the Restigouche and Chaleur Chapters of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire.
In the 1980s, the cenotaph was later moved to Riverside Park. The City of Campbellton and Royal Canadian Legion Branch 19 erected a matching cenotaph next to it, honouring the dead of the Second World War and Korean War. It is now known as Campbellton Veterans' Memorial.
