Le monument aux morts de Woodstock a été érigé en 1925 par les citoyens de Woodstock, grâce à l’initiative et aux efforts de la section Havelock de l’Ordre impérial des filles de l’Emprie (I.O.D.E.), en témoignage silencieux et permanent aux hommes de la localité et des environs, dans un rayon de six milles, qui ont sacrifié leur vie au bénéfice de l’humanité. Il a été inauguré le 30 août 1925 par l’honorable Henry Cockshutt, lieutenant-gouverneur. Il a été conçu et réalisé par Cœur de Lion MacCarthy, artiste sculpteur de Montréal.
