Woodrow Cenotaph

The Woodrow Cenotaph was constructed in the memory of all the veterans who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The Legwin Branch and Ladies Auxiliary, then the BESL (British Empire Services League), in 1927 contracted with the Regina Monumental Company to erect this monument, supplying materials and labour to the sum of $800.00. It was built on CPR property adjoining the station. The monument was made from Tyndal stone, the same stone used in the Saskatchewan Legislative Building. Due to the lack of care at this site the monument was moved to the Woodrow cemetery, about one mile south of Woodrow. The moving process started in 1997, and finished in 1998. In October 1998 the monument plaques were replaced.
