A monument at Cartwright in the Municipality of Cartwright-Roblin was erected on 20 June 1921 to commemorate soldiers from the local area killed during the First World War. The unveiling ceremony was attended by Premier Tobias C. Norris. The names of Second World War casualties were added later, along with the names of those were served and returned to Canada after the wars. The monument is maintained and updated by Cartwright-Mather Branch #86 of the Royal Canadian Legion.
