It was erected at the corner of Highway 7 and Montgomery Street. In 1965, Branch 82, Royal Canadian Legion bought the English school on top of the hill. In 1966, a new three-lane road was made from the Canadian customs to St-Jean, Québec. In the process of building the new road, the monument was damaged beyond repair.
