Killarney Cenotaph
This memorial was constructed by the local community and surrounding area in honour of the local veterans of the First and Second World Wars. The project was started by the local War Veterans Association. The site of memorial was chosen in 1925 to be in front of Town Hall. Late in May 1926 a contract was signed with Hooper Marble and Granite of Winnipeg to supply the cenotaph. The dedication ceremony took place on 25 September 1926.

Cénotaphe de Killarney
Ce monument à la mémoire des anciens combattants des Première et Deuxième Guerres mondiales de la région a été construit par les habitants de la collectivité locale et des environs. Le projet a été lancé par l’association locale des anciens combattants. En 1925, on a décidé que le monument serait installé devant la mairie. À la fin de mai 1926, l’entreprise Hooper Marble and Granite de Winnipeg a été chargée par contrat de fournir le cénotaphe. La cérémonie commémorative a eu lieu le 25 septembre 1926.
