The original granite obelisk was constructed in 1902 and dedicated to the memory of Captain P. K. Milligan who was killed in the South African War. It was unveiled on May 24, 1902 by Colonel Cotton, Q.M.G., Ottawa during a ceremony conducted by Colonel John Hughes.

A plaque on one side of the base is dedicated to the Durham Regiment, forerunner of the Midland Regiment. There is also a plaque dedicated to four local boys who lost their lives in the First World War.

In April 1943, a collision between a transport truck and a car damaged the monument. The original stone base was replaced with cement and was re-erected in the Memorial Garden. In 1980, it was restored and is now maintained by the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 178 and the Town of Clarington.

When the Frederick Campbell VC School closed in 2010, the school's plaque was presented to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 134. The Elementary School at Canadian Forces Base Borden opened its doors in 1956.

Frederick William Campbell was born in Mount Forest, Ontario on 15 June 1869. As a young man, he joined a unit of the Canadian Militia, and later served in during the South African War with a machine gun section of the 2nd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment. At the beginning of the First World War he was commissioned as an officer in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

Lieutenant Campbell was serving with the 1st Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force when he earned the Victoria Cross in an action near Givenchy in France on 15 June 1915, his 48th birthday. Employing two Colt machine guns, Campbell led an assault on a German trench line considered to be nearly impregnable. Arriving at the German line, Campbell maintained his lodgement for some time under heavy fire despite the fact that nearly all of his men became casualties. In order to cover the withdrawal of those of his men who were still capable of escaping, Campbell and another soldier advanced to an exposed position and succeeded in holding back an enemy counterattack. It was as he withdrew that Captain Campbell received the mortal wound from which he died on 19 June 1915.
