The last British governor-general of Canada, Earl Alexander of Tunis, who was Britain's youngest major-general in the Second World War, unveiled the 19-foot monument of granite that stands across the street from the town hall on October 24, 1948. The cenotaph was dedicated in the presence of Lt.-Col. Norman Mitchell, who was awarded the Victoria Cross during a battle in 1918 near Cambrai.
