Ce mémorial est dédié aux habitants de Goderich qui ont donné leur vie pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il a été érigé en 1924 par le club nautique et les citoyens de Goderich. Il fait face à l’est, vers la rue où les soldats défilaient avant de prendre le train pour se rendre à l’entraînement.

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