The front and sides have the names of 6 men from the area who were killed. Two were brothers, Clarence and Harry Havens. The monument was moved from its original site to the present location in the 1960's when the Trans Canada Highway was being built.
The back contains the names of 8 men from the same area who were killed in WW2.
