The town of Hawkesbury erected this cenotaph in grateful tribute to those who gave their lives in the Great War. It was dedicated on May 24, 1924, by Governor General Lord Byng of Vimy. The four main plaques on the cenotaph are framed by maple leaves and have the Coat of Arms of Canada within two maple tree branches at the top.
