Ce mémorial aux morts et aux anciens combattants de la Première Guerre mondiale originaires de l'endroit, a été inauguré tout d’abord le 30 août 1931 grâce aux efforts de la communauté locale. Les plaques commémoratives de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la guerre de Corée ont été ajoutées plus tard.
