This cross of forty stones points to the summit of Memorial Mountain. The mountain was so named to remember the thirty-nine Armstrong and Spallumcheen men who sacrificed their lives for Canada during the Second World War. The central stone represents the Unknown Soldier.
In 1999, 2000 and 2001 students from Pleasant Valley Secondary School collected stones from the eight countries in which the men died: Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Holland, India, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
