The Tignish War Memorial was built in 1947 by Edmond Laurent Gallant and Louis Harper. Claude Kinch, Hector Buote and J. Peter Gaudet were instrumental in having it erected. The latter hauled stones from Pleasant View for its construction. The land on which the memorial is built was donated by the Sisters of Notre Dame.
The memorial is a stone archway with a statue inside and small steps leading to it. There are black granite plaques on the sides displaying the names of Veterans who died in the First and Second World Wars. Later a plaque was added to honour all Veterans of the Korean War.
