The cenotaph was first constructed in 1925 to honour those who fell in World War I, with additional names added in 1946 following World War II and in 1983 to acknowledge the 30th anniversary of the Korean War. Recently, an inscription was added to pay tribute to those who served in Afghanistan, ensuring that the sacrifices of all who served are remembered.
