A memorial was originally erected in Devlin in 1919 by the Devlin Women's Institute and dedicated to the local war dead of the First World War. After the Second World War a new memorial, the present brick cairn, was built and the plaque from the older memorial and a new plaque dedicated to the local veterans of the Second World War was added to it. In 1997 a third plaque was added to the memorial bearing the image of a soldier and the words Lest We Forget.

This memorial was erected by the members of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 12.

This memorial was created through the renaming of the road "D2 Route" to "Veteran's Drive" on 11 January 1999.

This memorial, which incorporates a FPS-6 height-finding antenna, was donated by Canadian Forces Station Sioux Lookout. It was moved from the station in May 1987 just before it closed in June 1987.

The AN/FPS-6 Radar was a long-range height finding radar used by the United States Air Force's Air Defense Command. It was introduced in the late 1950s and served as the principal height-finder radar for the United States for several decades thereafter. It was also used by the Royal Air Force alongside their AMES Type 80s. Built by General Electric, the S-band radar operated on a frequency of 2700 to 2900 MHz. Between 1953 and 1960, about 450 units of the AN/FPS-6 and the mobile AN/MPS-14 version were produced.

The radar consisted of an antenna group, a transmitter group, a receiver group, and an ancillary group. Most fixed sites had a remote group, which allowed the control of the radar from inside the operations center. Also located in operations, was the anti-jam receivers. These receivers were fed with raw video from the tower receiver, and output several types of processed video to enable operators to see through jamming.
