This memorial was erected in 1924 and dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. When it was first installed, only the center inscription exisited. Inscriptions to honour Veterans of the Second World War, Korean War, peacekeepers and Afghanistan were added later.

The Cross of Sacrifice, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield in 1918, is one of two iconic features designed by Commonwealth War Graves Commission architects. Crosses of Sacrifice are found around the world in Commission cemeteries and in public cemeteries. The Cross of Sacrifice is an imposing bronze medieval longsword, blade down, on a stark white cross. It is one of the most enduring symbols of the bravery and sacrifice made by the men and women of the Commonwealth during the World Wars.

This memorial was erected by the village of Margaret and area in honour of the local war dead of the First World War. It was originally unveiled in June 1921. The statue was created by E.J. Skelton from Walkerton, Ontario. The soldier's gaze is nearly straight ahead, arms relaxed and hands resting on the barrel end of the rifle. 

Names of the local war dead from the Second World War were added later. The cenotaph was cleaned and restored in 1974.
