Ce mémorial érigé en 1978 est dédié aux habitants de Malton morts à la guerre. Le samedi 4 novembre 1978, le comité du cénotaphe de la filiale no 528 de la Légion royale canadienne, à Malton, a dévoilé ce monument dédié aux habitants de Malton et des environs tués à la guerre. Le cénotaphe est situé dans le parc Wildwood, qui donne sur le chemin Derry, à un jet de pierre de l’avion CF-100 érigé comme monument en 1974, également grâce au dévouement, au temps et aux efforts des membres de la Légion de Malton. Sur l’avion, on retrouve l’emblème du 414e Escadron de la BFC North Bay.
