The Stittsville Cenotaph was constructed in June 1982 in memory of those who died in the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.
Tentative design plans for the Stittsville Cenotaph were prepared by Comrade Clive Morris. He presented them to council and the designs appeared in the Stittsville News. Shortly after, Ken Killick, a veteran of the R.A.F., made an offer on behalf of himself and three other men: Lee Olds of Thompson, Ohio, ex US Army; Dean Hardy of Alligan, Michigan, ex-Marine Corps; and Ash Bywaters of Roxton, Texas, ex-Naval Air Service. These four men wanted to donate an obelisk from the people of the US. They also offered to build the backdrop walls of precast stone.
Through the cooperation of Charlie Fraser, the staff of the Stittsville Community Centre and Bob Mills, Goulbourn, recreation director, work started on May 21, 1982. Latimer Equipment provided the backhoe and the large truck to remove excess material. The bulk of the jobs were completed by several members and friends. They wielded shovels, wheelbarrows, carried steel reinforced rods, used cutting torches, spread stone and cement, and generally did everything they could help with.
The obelisk and walls were transported to Stittsville on May 27. The cenotaph was dedicated on June 26, 1982 and the first Remembrance Day service was held at their monument on November 11, 1982.
