This Royal Canadian Legion memorial was dedicated at the Canadian Legion cemetery on September 18, 1958, by Rt. Rev. H. R. Ragg (MA, DD) honorary assistant to the Bishop of New Wesminister, consecrated the grounds. Wreaths were laid by Legion president Gordon Buchanan and Mrs. K Gagnon, president of the Ladies Auxiliary. The unveiling was preformed by Pat Hall, as members of the Legion and Ladies Auxiliary surrounded the spire. (Adapted from the Chilliwack, BC, Wednesday, September 21, 1958. needs further research, the rest of the article unclear) The land on which the cenotaph sits was donated by a First World War veteran by the surname of Bathgate as a cemetery for Veterans of the First World War. In 1937, four half-acre sites and one slightly smaller area were officially surveyed and registered to the Legion. In 2001, seventeen gravestones from that time period were refurbished, and there are 3,000 other veterans or veterans dependents buried in the cemetery. During this time, they also received money to do some landscaping, including the planting of native trees around the area. (Adapted from the Chilliwack Progress, Tuesday, November 6, 2001)
