Erected by the Village of Humberstone (now Port Colborne), this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and to the veterans of the Korean War. In 1952, a new plaque was installed on the Cenotaph in the northern section of Port Colborne to honour the names of those killed in the two World Wars, from the former Humberstone Village.
