Das Wehrmännerdenkmal (auch Forchdenkmal), ein 18 m hohes Bronzemonument in Form einer Flamme, wurde 1922 errichtet und erinnert an die rund 3000 Soldaten, die während des Ersten Weltkriegs im Aktivdienst starben - nicht etwa während kriegerischer Auseinandersetzungen, sondern an der Spanischen Grippe. Ihr Tod stürzte die Familien oft in grosse Not, da es damals keinerlei finanzielle Absicherung gab.
