Town of Breton, Alberta
The Breton Cenotaph, located next to the Winfield Legion and constructed in 1955, was erected in memory of our fallen
comrades. The Cenotaph was unveiled on November 1st, 1969, in a joint project of the Breton Town Council
and the Warburg Legion #205 Branch. The unveiling of the Cenotaph was carried out by the Honourable Grant McEwan,
Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, and the Provincial President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Comrade Bill Gordon.
The dedication of the monument was made by Reverend Dr. Gerald Hutchinson.
Every November 11th, a wreath-laying ceremony is held at the monument in memory of those who paid the
supreme sacrifice for their country in all wars.
