The Waverley Soldiers' Memorial was unveiled on October 5, 1920, to honour the men from the four surrounding townships of Medonte, Tay, Flos and Tiny who fell in the First World War. Waverley is at the crossroads of these four townships. Each side of the base of the monument represents a different township and lists the names of those lost in the war. A marble statue of a First World War soldier in full battle dress sits at the top and at the base of each side are crossed First World War era guns in relief.

After the Second World War, four steles were added to the grounds, one for each of the four townships, each with a list of names of those lost in the war. The Korean War is remembered at the base of the Medonte and Flos steles. 

The memorial was donated by the Patriotic Ladies of Waverley and designed and manufactured by R.J. Sanderson Marble Co., Peter-Street, Orillia. The entire park is surrounded by a black metal fence with a gate at the front.

The Tottenham Cenotaph was unveiled in August 1920 by the municipality of Tottenham to honour the local men killed in the First World War. During the First World War, the 8th Platoon B Company of the 157th Battalion Simcoe County constructed in a big hall that had been turned into a barracks. It was part of the long-gone Morrow Hotel which stood where the Rogers Block is now (building on the southwest corner of the “Four Corners”, the intersection of Mill Street, running east-west, and Queen Street, north-south, in the middle of Tottenham). Of the forty-one men of the 8th Platoon that served in the First World War, twenty-four did not return.

It was rededicated after the Second World War, and again at the end of the Korean War.

In 1939, the Phelps Women's Institute acquired the property where the Phelps Cenotaph currently sits. The culmination of years of hard work and planning was reached in November 1960, when a memorial cairn was erected on the grounds to honour those who made the supreme sacrifice. It was planned and designed by members of the branch and built of local stone by local workmen for free. Members of the North Bay Branch of the Canadian Legion were in charge of the dedication ceremony and unveiling of the cenotaph. Local Guides, Brownies and their leaders participated in the service.

At this time, the park was renamed to Phelps Memorial ParkSince it was built, the cenotaph has been the focal point of Remembrance Day Services in the park.

Marilyn Hummel, a Life Member of Phelps Women's Institute, worked to build a museum in Phelps to house her collection of antiques and artifacts from this area. She carried out fundraising for years, but unfortunately the museum never materialized. Marilyn bequeathed the money raised to Phelp's Women's Institue and asked that the money be put to good use. The Women's Institute had always wanted to have a sign built for Phelps Memorial Park.

Kyle Wilson of Kustom Kreations was contacted and collaboration began. After much discussion a design was selected and, along with the steel work, was completed by Kyle. Randy Quirt donated all his time and some of the materials. On November 6, 2022, they both installed the sign and put in river rocks and crushed stone to enhance its beauty.

In 2008, a Cenotaph Committee was formed to build a cenotaph to honour local Veterans. The corner of Albert Avenue and Paris Avenue was chosen because it is adjacent to the Alliston Memorial Arena, which was named in honour of local Veterans in 1950 and because it is central to the town. The land is of the Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Chippewa/Ojibwe.

The center piece of the memorial was unveiled on August 24, 2013. Funds were provided by the Nottawasage Foundation and it was designed by Bradley Design Consultants of New Tecumseth. It was built by Smith Monuments Company Ltd. The center stone is made of Cambrian Black granite from Quebec and on the front are the names of soldiers that gave the ultimate sacrifice in the First and Second World Wars. The battles list for both wars are listed on the back.

The service men and women artwork was completed by artist David Craig. The wing memorials are made from supreme India black stone. On the west side are dedications to Veterans of Korea, Gulf War and Peacekeeping. The east side honours Afghanistan Veterans.

In 2017, black steel benches were donated by the town of New Tecumseth to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge. They were designed and manufactured by David Ogilvie Engineering Ltd., Scotland.

The Alliston Legion, Town of New Tecumseth and Alliston Cenotaph Committee relocated the Alliston School War Memorial to its current location with the Alliston Cenotaph directly across from the former school property in 2020.

On November 11, 2021, the addition of two names to the Afghanistan side were unveiled. The families of Sapper Brian Collier and Corporal Matthew Dinning have connections to the region.

Funds raised by the community were used in 2022 to repair water and ice damage of the two wing monuments; the east side stone was removed, shipped to Hamilton, Ontario where it was re-shaved, re-engraved and shipped to Quebec to be polished; scratches on the Afghanistan India Blackstone were repaired.

In 1923, the first memorial (a vault) was erected in the Markdale Public Cemetery. Interested citizens arranged for three large stone plaques which listed the names of the men from Markdale who joined the active forces. One plaque listed the 33 names of those who paid the supreme sacrifice in the First World War. The remaining two plaques listed the 142 names of those who joined the forces in Markdale and were fortunate enough to return home.

The Royal Canadian Legion was founded in 1925-26 and Veterans paraded to the cemetery on November 11 for their service honouring the First World War Veterans. In 1971, the vault was removed and a new one was erected further back in the cemetery grounds. Its placement was questioned and through the efforts of a local Veteran, who is now deceased, the three plaques were carefully taken down and stored at the Royal Canadian Legion Headquarters. A smaller brass plaque was created and erected in the Carnegie Library and still hangs to this day.

The same local Veteran and his committee began fundraising and sought approval from the local hospital to erect a new memorial to honour the men and women from the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Through hard work and the approval from the Centre Grey Hospital Board for land, a new memorial was constructed and placed on the Southeast corner of the hospital in 1979. In 1983, the Hospital Board gave approval for more ground to be given to install the three plaques with the First World War Veterans, behind the existing memorial. The new memorial was moved to its current location at the Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 333 Flesherton-Markdale.

the Flesherton Cenotaph was unvieled on August 3, 1938 in Memorial Park by Mrs. Mary Jamieson, who had three sons and one daughter in the service. One son was killed in action and the other two have since died. During the unveiling, her daughter, May Jamieson, had a position of honour next to the cenotaph.  May Jamieson was Flesherton's only nurse during the war. When Mrs. Jamieson cut the cord, which held the flag drapping the memorial, she used the bandage scissors that her daughter used in hospital work at Malta.

The memorial was first erected to honour those who served and died in the Great War, with the names of those from the Second World War inscribed later. The cenotaph is flanked by a German trench mortar and a machine gun.
