Winged Victory was originally erected in 1962. It was vandalized in 1963 or 1964 and the present monument was erected in 1964 or 1965 using parts of the original memorial. At that time, the Korea War was added and the plaques on the left and right were changed to read World War I 1914 - 1918 and World War II 1939 - 1945 respectively.

The original monument stood at eighteen feet, ten inches. It included an arch, a statue of “Winged Victory” that stood seven feet two inches, and a bronze Caribou on a three-foot pedestal. The arch contained the Army Crest with the Navy Crest, the Air Force Crest, the Torch and Newfoundland’s emblem flower and the Pitcher Plant crest. It was erected by Muir’s Marble Works of St. John’s with the statues being imported from Italy.

Winged Victory was rededicated on July 23, 2015.

GANDER CEMETERY, NEWFOUNDLAND

Begun in 1936 as a terminal airport for transatlantic flights,
and originally known as Newfoundland Airport, Gander
Airport became an important base for the Royal Canadian Air
Force in the Second World War. It was enlarged and
developed to serve the Atlantic Ferry Organisation for the
transport of aircraft and to accommodate air reconnaissance
planes and military defence forces. It was also the
headquarters of an anti-aircraft regiment of the Royal
Canadian Artillery.

A cemetery was set up near the airfield for the burials of
casualities, mainly airmen who died in crashes in the area.
There are 100 war graves of servicemen, 94 of them airmen and
6 soldiers, from the following countries:

Canada 80
United Kingdom 18
Australia 2

THESE WAR GRAVES ARE MAINTAINED
UNDER ARRANGEMENTS MADE BY THE
COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES COMMISSION

CIMITIERE DE GANDER A TERRE-NEUVE

Commencé en 1936 pour servir de terminus aux vols
transatlantiques, et d'abord connu comme aéroport de
Terre-Neuve, l'aéroport de Gander devint une base importante
du Corps d'aviation royal canadien au cours de la Seconde
Guerre mondiale. L'aéroport a été agrandi et développé pour
servir l'Atlantic Ferry Organisation pour le transport d'avions
et afin d'accommoder les avions de reconnaissance aérienne et
les forces militaires de défense. Ce fut aussi le quartier général
d'un régiment antiaérian de l'Artillerie royale canadienne.

Un cimetière a été aménagé près de l'aérodrome, surtout pour inhumer les aviateurs qui périrent lors d'écrasements dans la
région. Le cimitière compte 100 tombes de militaires, dont 94
aviateurs et 6 soldats, des pays suivants:

Canada 80
Royaume-Uni 18
Australie 2

The Botwood Cenotaph was constructed in 1921 in memory of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the First World War. Later, tributes to veterans of the Second World War were added.

Excerpt taken from the Veteran Magazine Sept. 1922: THE MONUMENT, erected in memory of the Boys of Botwood and District, who gave their lives for their Country, was unveiled on Tuesday, 1st July, 1921, by Mrs. Thos. Antle, President of Botwood Women's Patriotic Association. Appropriate addresses were delivered by Mr. J.W. Aitken, J.P., and Rev. II. G. Coppin, Methodist Minister, after which "The Last Post" was sounded by ex-Sergt. W. Jewer, M.M., and firing party, composed of returned soldiers under the command of Corporal Heath, fired three volleys over the Monument. The number of people present at the unveiling ceremony was the largest at any function in the history of Botwood. The Monument, which was purchased from D. Beveridge & Son, Perth, Scotland, is a gray granite obelisk, about 12 feet high, and is erected on ground donated to the Local Committee by Mr. H.J. Crowe.

In their beginnings, the Great War Veterans Association held remembrance ceremonies at temporary memorials erected for each service. A permanent site for remembrance was needed and $8000 was raised by the people of Grand Falls with assistance of the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company. A memorial was designed to replicate the cenotaph in Whitehall, London, and honour those who lost their lives in the First World War.

The unveiling and dedication of the cenotaph was held on Sunday, July 23, 1922, with Governor Harris performing the dedication. The cenotaph was located on the edge of town on Station Road, which was later Lincoln Road, in the area known as Memorial Grounds. The Grand Falls Academy school was built directly behind the cenotaph in 1935. 

The cenotaph was later updated to include soldiers who lost their lives in the Second World War and the stone engravings were replaced with brass plaques in 1948. In 1966, the names of those who lost their lives in the Korean War were added. 

The Memorial Grounds are now a Memorial Park and the center for all memorial activities in the town including Armistice Day and the wreath laying on July 1st.
