The Village of Bentley does not have a monument, as such. The Legion bought land that was designated for a sports area. It then was turned over to the Village of Bentley. A car raffled off on December 10, 1947 (a man from Castor, Alberta won it - R.B. Lane), and the money from the project went into the Legion Memorial Fund.

With this money, a commemorative memorial to our deceased veterans was built. It was in the form of a gateway to the sports grounds and was similar to that depicted in the above drawing. In the centre was a cairn on which was inscribed the roll of honour.

At a later time, they added an addition to the curling rink, necessitating the removal of the cairn. The plaque was removed and put into the arena. The arch was mounted on the front of the arena. This is the way it now stands.
