The War Memorial is a concrete and grey marble cenotaph with a bronze plaque on the grounds of St. Anthony United Church, at 296 West Street in the Town of St. Anthony. The War Memorial was constructed by local artisans on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 17 and erected on a piece of land provided by the United Church, using labour provided by the International Grenfell Association in 1958-59. The Legion’s first president, Almer Pardy, and other veterans oversaw the construction 1958/01/01 to 1959/01/01.
The memorial honours thirty-one local residents who died during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. The memorial bears 31 names on a bronze plaque at the base of the cenotaph. It also bears inscribed images of the British flags and the caribou emblem of the historic Newfoundland Regiment.
