This memorial was dedicated to the memory of the members of Wesley Methodist Church who killed during the First World War. The church at 1315 7 Street SW closed in 2003 and it is not known what happened to the plaque.
When the church opened in 1911, it was as the Wesley Methodist Church. In 1925, with the uniting of Methodist, Congregational, and Presbyterian churches in Canada it became known as the Wesley United Church.
