Erected by the Princess Royal Chapter of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, this memorial is dedicated to the local war dead. The Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire in Killam was formed in 1921. The first project of the group was to erect a memorial to honour the fallen soldiers of the First World War. It was built and dedicated that same year at the end of main street in Killam, containing sixteen names. Four more names were added at the end of the Second World War. The memorial was moved in 1962 to the present location by George Smolki, who moved it stone by stone.

The Cenotaph was originally erected by the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch No. 59 in 1937. Lord and Lady Tweedsmuir unveiled the War Memorial that year and laid a wreath in honour of the 55 names that were engraved on the memorial at that time. The Cenotaph was located on the boulevard on Main Street. Sharpe's Memorial Park was dedicated following Second World War by the Sharpe family in memory of the two sons they lost during the war. The park was later donated to the Town and rededicated in 1951 to all those who lost their lives in both World Wars. The Cenotaph was moved to the old Court House grounds in 1951 to accommodate changes to Main Street. Additions were made to the engraving and the names of those who lost their lives in the Second World War were added. Then, in 1955, the Stettler Branch began the task of relocating the Cenotaph once again, this time to Sharpe's Memorial Park where it now stands. The Korean War is now recognized on the Cenotaph. Since that time, although the Town of Stettler owns the park, the Stettler Branch has made significant changes with the construction of a brick and wrought iron fence, the installation of lighting, park benches, a flag pole, a garden, paving the pathways and providing a summer student each year whose sole duty is to maintain the park.
