Ce monument commémoratif, érigé par la ville de Stratford, est dédié à la mémoire des victimes des Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales et de la guerre de Corée. Sculpté par Walter S. Allward en 1920, il est formé de deux images contrastantes. Il fut érigé en 1920 sur les rives de la rivière Avon par un groupe de citoyens qui travaillaient avec la Chambre de commerce de Stratford.

Le texte de l’inscription figure dans la section anglaise.
