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.

The Canadian Pacific Railway Great War Tablet in the Calgary Station was dedicated on April 28, 1922. The tablet then moved to their head office at Gulf Canada Square (9th Avenue SW) and eventually to its current location at the new Headquarters at Ogden. Following the Second World War, a small crest was added under the tablet, now honouring employees who served in either conflict. The tablet and crest were mounted on a cairn around 2017 and the For Valour plaque was added on Remembrance Day 2021.

To honour those who served and gave their lives during the Great War, the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) erected a series of bronze memorial tablets in over twenty select locations along their railway system and offices in Canada, United States, England and China. The tablet depicts Britannia, the national personification of Britain, as a helmeted female warrior with a lion to her right and a shield at her feet, HMS Lion (Admiral Beatty's flagship during the Battle of Jutland) with airplanes above and a tank in front, Canadian Pacific Steamship RMS Empress of Russia (used during the war as an armed merchant cruiser and transport ship), Canadian troops, and a CPR locomotive in a nod to all those who travelled by train across Canada before heading overseas. The plaque was designed by Archibald Pearce, Chief Engineer's Department, Montreal, with its model and casting by the Bromsgrove Guild at Worcester, England.
