Erected on behalf of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 110, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. The cenotaph was originally placed by a group of veterans who were members of the Royal Canadian Legion. The cement pad was built using a borrowed cement mixer, a lot of hard work and a combination of purchased cement and donated gravel/sand. There is only one member still alive and he believes the cost was between $3500 and $8500 for the cenotaph itself. Consecration of the memorial was carried out by a local parish priest in 1976. We have estimated that the cenotaph weighs approximately 20,000 lbs.

In December 1924, the Soldier’s Memorial Committee accepted the offer for a memorial that was originally organized by the Great War Veterans’ Association. The Lloydminster Cenotaph was made from Nelson Island granite and designed by Captain Thornton Sharp. M.C., of the firm Sharp and Thompson.

It was sold by Art Monument Co., Ltd. based in Vancouver, British Columbia which was managed by J. Whitworth, a returned Veteran from the 54th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force and Treasurer of the Disabled Veterans Association in Vancouver. At a cost of $2,000, it stands at 14 feet with a 10 feet 6 inches wide base.

The cenotaph was erected on June 27, 1925, in memory of those from Lloydminster who died in the First World War. Additional names of remembrance were later added for the Second World War and Korean War. The cenotaph was refurbished in 1971.

In 1925, the memorial clock was dedicated by the Walter Musson Charter, The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, to the men that fought and were lost in World War I. Mr. Frank Balley was the stonemason who built this tower and also did the architectural design for it. The stones were gathered by the school children from town and also farmers bringing in some when they came to town. They say most of the rocks that the school children gathered were from Norman Cooper's farm a little ways east of town. The clock that was installed into this Cenotaph came from England and was run from batteries until the main street was paved in 1958-1959 when it was changed over to electric.
