The Thornbury Cenotaph was erected in 1975 at Jack Acres Memorial Park on Russell Street, by the Royal Canadian Legion Beaver Valley Branch 281 to honour those from the area who died in the two World Wars. On 1 November 2019, it was relocated to its current location and re-dedicated on 7 June 2020.

The In Flanders Fields benches were removed when the cenotaph was moved and are currently in storage.
