Rural Municipality of Thompson War Memorial

The Rural Municipality of Thompson War Memorial was erected in Veterans Park in the summer of 2021. The polished granite memorial stands above a raised dais, upon two additional slabs of solid granite. The sides measure four feet wide and an attractive cap stone is added at the top of the 11.5 foot monument. There are 705 names inscribed on the memorial which includes all the residents of the Rural Municipality of Thompson who participated in the Boer War, First World War, Second World War, Korean War, and peacekeeping missions in the Balkans, Egypt, Cyprus and Kosovo.

The memorial was designed, constructed, engraved and installed by RB Millworks, from the Rural Municipality of Thompson, based on a design and picture submitted by Heather Imrie.
