This memorial to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War was erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 225. Two flagpoles were added after 1983 in memory of Pte. Duane Willson, 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry, who died in Cyprus in that year.
In 2015, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company Ltd. and subsidiary companies War Memorial was moved here from it's original location near the Abitibi Power Dam.
