Strathcona RCMP are asking for the public's assistance after four commemorative plaques were stolen from a memorial honouring soldiers who served Canada overseas.

Sometime between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Nov. 24, the plaques were taken from the Legion of Frontiersmen War Memorial located on Highway 14 and Range Road 205, near Hastings Lake.

This plaque reads "Dedicated to the memory of Frontiersmen who fell in the Great War 1914-1918, erected by their comrades July 1935." (RCMP) The site is recognized provincially and nationally as a historical monument and a landmark for local residents, RCMP said in a statement Tuesday.

The first plaque reads: "Dedicated to the memory of Frontiersmen who fell in the Great War 1914-1918, erected by their comrades July 1935."

The second plaque reads: "In memory of those who fell during the Second World War."

Additional plaques commemorating Dominion Commandants Brigadier A. Mack and Colonel Lewis Scott were also stolen.

The monument has a white cross on top and five plaques dedicated to the memories of Frontiersmen who died in the two wars as well as the Dominion Commandants.

More than 9,000 Frontiersmen lost their lives in the First World War and the Legion was revitalized in the 1930s prior to the Second World War.

According to the county, the memorial is the only marker in Canada representing the history of the Frontiersmen War veterans.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact Strathcona RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
