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. A portrait of Clifford Charles Hummell is etched into his memorial. He stood 5 foot 8 ½ inches, and had auburn hair and brown eyes.

Clifford sailed from Halifax aboard the RMS Empress of Britain on 18 June 1916. He joined the 46th Battalion on 11 August 1916, was wounded by a gas attack on 18 August 1918, recorded seriously ill on 23 August, and died on 24 August.

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.
