The Dauphin Cenotaph, made by the firm of Guinn and Simpson of Portage la Prairie at a cost of $5,500, was unveiled on 19 June 1924 in a ceremony attended by Lieutenant-Governor James Aikins and Premier John Bracken. It commemorated men from the local area killed during the First World War. Eighty more names were added following the Second World War. Initially installed in front of the Dauphin railway station, the cenotaph was moved to its present location on Memorial Boulevard in 1964.
