Monument to the Brave was erected in 1921 and dedicated to those killed in the First World War. It was created by Coeur de Lion MacCarthy whose brother, an officer in the 14th Battalion, posed as a model for the statue. It depicts and infantryman about to plunge his bayonet below. The two bronze Second World War Honour Rolls at the foot of the monument were installed in 1949.
Coeur de Lion MacCarthy, the son of sculptor Hamilton McCarthy, produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War, including: Winged Victory in British Columbia; Great War Memorial and Lethbridge Cenotaph in Alberta; Winged Victory in Manitoba; County of Brome War Memorial, Verdun Victory Memorial, Monument to the Brave and Winged Victory in Quebec; Clifton Hill War Memorial and Woodstock Cenotaph in Ontario.
