This memorial is dedicated to those who died in the First and Second World Wars. It was erected by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 278, Thedford. Plaques of polished blackstone, bearing the names of 16 local men and the major battles of the First and Second World Wars have been added to complete the fieldstone cairn that stands on Thedford's main street.
