Cette plaque a été dévoilée en l’honneur du 154e Bataillon du Corps expéditionnaire canadien, et en hommage aux 146 membres qui perdirent la vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale.

Le 154e Bataillon, formé des comtés de Stormant, de Dundas et de Glengarry, près de Cornwall, en Ontario, s’embarqua pour l’Angleterre le 16 octobre 1916 et atteignit le Royaume-Uni plus tard ce même mois. Il fut dissous quelques mois plus tard après que ses membres aient été transférés dans d’autres bataillons comme renforcements. Les Stormant, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders perpétuent le 154e Bataillon.
