The Monument was unveiled on January 9th, 1920, at 3
o'clock in the afternoon. All the stores, factories, and manufacturers, were asked to close their places of business.
The design chosen was in the form of a fountain, a spray of water coming from each side, as an emblem of life, that was given, to bring about peace. The Memorial is 8 feet long at the base, 5 feet wide at the base, and 10 feet high. It contains the names of all the fallen heroes of the Village of Exeter and Usborne Township. It is made of Canadian grey granite.
The following is inscribed on the Monument.
The west side of the Cenotaph.
