This memorial was erected circa 1939 - 1940 in memory of those who served during the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

The memorial was originally placed on the grounds of a local church. In 1948 an inscribed tablet was purchased at the request of the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion and dedicated on November 11, 1948. The memorial was moved from the church grounds to the present location at the Town Hall in 1957.

THE WOLSELEY EXPEDITION 1870

In August 1870, a force of British regulars and Canadian
militia comprising some 1,200 men commanded by Colonel
Garnet Wolseley, arrived in this area en route to the Red
River to establish Canadian authority within the present
province of Manitoba. The previous year the Hudson's Bay
Company had agreed to transfer control of its western ter-
ritories to Canada, and some local inhabitants, fearing loss
of their lands and interference with their mode of existence,
had set up a provisional government under Louis Riel to
press their claims on the Dominion. The expedition had
disembarked at Prince Arthur's Landing on Lake Superior and
travelling by land and water reached Fort Garry on August 24.
