LEST WE FORGET
This memorial was established after the First World War. Plaques to commemorate those lost in the Second World War and Korean War were added later. The memorial is in a section of the park known as the Memorial Arboretum, which was the former site of Hagersville Public School.
On top of the memorial is an eternal light to remind of us our promise to never forget the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our freedom.

The Beamsville Cenotaph was erected with the help of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 397. Originally it paid tribute to the men and women lost in the Great War, their names presented on brass plaques attached to the front of a white stone wall. Later other plaques were added with names of those lost in the Second World War, and also to recognize the wars in Korea and Afghanistan.
At the sides of the memorial is a First World War German Spandau machine gun, and a M114 155mm Howitzer from the Second World War. Topping the memorial is a golden-coloured crown to honour all those who fought for Home, Empire and Freedom.
