Ce monument commémoratif est construit d’une haute dalle de marbre ornée d’une statue d’un soldat de la Première Guerre mondiale. D’abord érigé en 1919 afin d’honorer ceux ayant consenti le sacrifice ultime lors de la « Grande Guerre », les noms de ceux morts en service lors de la Seconde Guerre mondiale y furent ajoutés en 1946 ou 1947.
