This war memorial is a grey granite obelisk and is located at the foot of Victory Square. The three-sided monument was designed by Major G.L. Thornton Sharp to harmonize with the triangular shape of the park. The Cenotaph was unveiled by His Worship W. R. Owen, Mayor of Vancouver, on Sunday April 27, 1924. The ornamentations on the stone include one long sword, one laurel wreath, and one poppy wreath; both of the wreaths are entwined with maple leafs. A stone replica of the steel helmet used in the war of 1914-1918 adorns three corner abutments.
